So I know some people in our profession like to go around calling them 'donorcycles' , but I know there are some of us who love to ride and know that the joy of riding is well worth the (slightly increased) risk, and that it can be managed by always wearing full gear and formal training, etc. Hell, I know more police/EMTs/Firefighters that ride than anyone else.
I personally became addicted to riding a little over a year ago. An old desire was pushed into reality by the EMTs and police officers I worked with, and I went and took the MSF course and got my class M, then bought a Kawasaki Ninja 500r h34r:. Had an amazing time with that bike, small and outdated as it is. There's nothing like the feeling of a group ride down PCH with some friends.
Anyway, sold that bike a few months ago with the intention of buying another (a 636 this time :drool: ), but then the realization set in that I probably couldn't afford a new bike until I'm done with college. So I'm probably done with motorcycles for a year or so, but the addiction lives on. I always get a little jealous when I pass a rider on the street.
So tell me, what do you ride?
