I don't have one. But my dream is to have one someday. I especially like the cool shape of moto-cross bikes. I love the tricks the guys do on the tracks. Amazing! I'm a woman, but I think women look very sexy on bikes!

I have a moto cross bike, though I dont do tricks on it I just putter around the yard on it, they are pretty cool but mine is so big it scares me so I dont ride it very often. Overall though I do love motorcycles.

I've had several in my life. But now I'm old and my left leg has so much metal in it I'm afraid it won't hold one up. I think my last one was a Honda 450. (?) Not sure, many years ago. Anyway, helmet hair sucks.

I love motorcycles and will have another some day soon. I am trying to trade my Fiero for a touring bike. I was saving up to get one this fall but my GF decided to steall the cash I had hidden here. I almost had enough to pay cash for a brand new HD!

That's really bad luck! I also love touring bikes. They have a different charm all together. But very, very cool!

I want one someday Probably in college or after, when I've been on the road long enough to have at least some experience. I've driven by a few bike accidents, and it does scare me, though. My mom and grandparents tell me not to get one, and my dad says that riding a bike will make me a better car driver because I'll always be aware of what's going on around me.

I think their cool looking. I love the bright red ones! But as for riding one... I think I would be too chicken!
But maybe one day, if I am courageous enough.

They are okay. I am not terribly fond of them myself. When my former BF would work on somebody's street bike I would go with him to test it. That was fun. Not so fun was when we hiked up a steep hill on our farm and sat on large rocks drinking cinnamon Schnapps. I didn't realize I was toast until I tried to stand up and walk. So my BF went to the house and brought back one of his dirt bikes and we both got on it. What he had not anticipated was how the weight of another rider going down hill would limit his ability to use the brakes. Yikes. I was scared half to death thinking my head was going to bounce off a tree. When he finally was able to stop I decided I would walk the rest of the way home drunk or not.

I still have one street bike & several dirt bikes in storage. Wanna buy one cheap???

I agree they're cool looking - but I think they're dangerous. When I was 13, my brother inlaw crashed his motorcycle. He survived but broke his jaw and was wired shut for 2 months. Ever since then Ive been afraid of them.

HARLEY or nothing. Simple as that. Nothing compares to it.

Been a Harley enthusist since I can remember. Would LOVE to become a part of the great Harley runs accross the states, but I'm preoccupied with much more important issues at present.

Someday.....

I have seen too many fatal motorcycle accidents in my life to think it wise to ride or drive one.

I have seen car drivers intentionally try to run a motorcyclist off the street.

My brother-in-law was killed in a motorcycle accident (he wasn't driving)
I have seen stupid motorcycle drivers cut off huge 18 wheeler trucks.

They maybe nice but don't see them as being safe on the street or even the open highway.

moto cross looks like fun, but is dangerous....think that is ok if you that is your sport.....only other ones at risk are others in the same sport.

On the highway, there are too many other lives at risk. While I was dating my husand, he owned a motorcycle......He wanted to get married, I wasn't in a place where I really wanted to get married....told him I wasn't about to get married & have him die in a motorcycle accident & if he was interested in getting married, the morotcycle had to go......now I wish he had chosen to keep the motorcycle as it wasn't the only reason I wasn't interested in getting married & should have listened to that little voice.

I only rode on one once & almost fell off the back of it.....not my idea of fun either.

Definitely believe in the helmet requirement....just like I believe in wearing a helmet while I ride my horse.....for me, thank you, I will stick with riding my horse...at least it has a mind that can think & take care of me which is more than I can say for a motorcycle.

I LOVE motorcycles!

This is my baby:



She's my first bike, a 1995 Yamaha Virago 250, customised by moi.

I've also got a virago 535 for when i pass my driving test... I'm yet to start working on that one though. Thinking about going for a military theme; camoflage and ammo boxes.

I agree with those of you who've said that it is dangerous. It's even dangerous here, and i live on an island where we have a 35mph speed limit! Some people just don't think about their actions, get a lot of people pulling out of driveways and junctions without looking for other traffic!

My cousin died when he was 23 riding a motor cycle. He would have survived in a car. He was about my age. I don't like motorcycles.

[Naturefreak]

I like to look at them from a distance.

My moped is a going machine. Vroom.

[ECHOES]

They scare me to death yet I admire how free and wild they look to ride
The rumble of the motor, the wind rushing past, sunshine on the shoulders...
I worry because my son has one
My dad used to call them "accidents waiting to happen".
