Matthew pretty much hit it on the head. Motorcycling is fun. Bikers know why dogs love to stick their heads out of car windows. But the cagers (car and truck drivers) ARE out to getcha. You have to look out for them, they will not look out for you. I've got 4 bikes. The Harley gets about 45 MPG and the wifes' VLS 600 gets 55. The other 2 are in between. I insure all 4 bikes, full coverage for about $500 a year. Definately take the motorcycle safety course. Thing I haven't figured out yet is where I'm going to carry the pole on the bike. Later..................Mike

Yeah I know what you mean- when in Monterey the only vehicle I had was my motorcycle - but now that I'm back on the east coast (home sweet home), and there are 4 seasons and alot of rain - the motorcycle had to go on the back burner. Hopefully I'll get some decent riding time in this summer. Unless I have to sell it to help me buy new poles..... :P
