I've ridden dirt bikes on grampa's farm (power-shifting, since the levers were always broken) since I was around 10 or so. 57 now, with my current custom '99 FXD-based softtail. I still enjoy the acceleration and the wind, but having a softtail makes me *THINK* I look cool.
People who see me in my gear, basically just leather jacket or vest and Oakleys, think I look like some bad-ass biker. I just laugh at them.
I try to ride once every week or two to work, just to keep the battery charged and me balanced. Starting at 0630 make sit tougher, I just don't trust falkers in a cage that early in the morning.
Remember, there are two types of bikers:
Those who have been down
Those who are waiting their (next) turn
