I just though I would share with you the motorcycle I plan on buying! This is my mid-life crisis vehicle. I knew it HAD to be orange. As fate would have it, I ran into sexy motorcycle dude with an orange motorcycle who informed me that ALL this company makes IS ORANGE! It was a sign! This particular year and model is both street legal AND a dirt bike! OH and here is a motorcycle song for you all to enjoy while reading about it. Well, actually it is a "motorcycle" song ;) ;) ;)

Absolutely go for it! There's nothing else quite like riding :)

If you haven't been riding in a while (or don't have your license yet) look into the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (http://www.msf-usa.org/) courses in your area. I try and take the refresher at least every other year to help keep my skills up.

And I know what you mean about having an orange motorcycle too. Mine's a 2013 Harley Davidson Road King in their Candy Orange and Beer Bottle 2-tone...Fell in love with this color the first time I saw it in Milwaukee when the 2013's were previewed :cool:

It was a little overcast when this pic was taken, so it looks more red than orange. In the sun, the color looks more like a wet tangerine life-saver.

I will now have to mate with your motorcycle! Would it mind? I have orange hair, too! Lol!

Also, I know about the classes. In Oregon you can not get a motorcycle endorsement until you have passed the class. My husband/ex-husband/husband-with-benefits/whatever-the-hell-we're-calling-him-this week, says that it will be hard to get into a class right away because there are not enough classes for the demand.
 
Sweet! I hope you realize Jen, that when you get it, we'll need to see a picture of you riding it in your orange bikini! :woot:


OMG! I didn't even think of that! I will TOTALLY post that! In fact...now you have given me other strange ideas! So, my little band member, Brian, ALSO has a motorcycle and I asked him if he has ever gone riding at midnight during a full-moon in the country. And he has NOT! But he said he was going to plan on doing that next full moon...and include me ;) ;) ;) So, I should wear an orange bikini -yep at night- just to be weirdER. There may have to be some howling at the moon involved, too. Heh heh heh.
 
This is the bike on my wish list. :happy:
Can't go on long road trips with it; but for quick drives around town it should work nicely.


See, you guys bust me up. EVERYONE wants a Harley - so that is no longer intriguing to me. You have to be ORIGINAL. :)

Cool. I know the laws vary state to state. Here the MSF courses are only required for those under 18.

But, but, but...That one's Electric!!!
 
THAT is hilarious! I should add that skill to my resume - "able to convert people from soft porn" in a single sentence! BWAHAHAHAAA!

Hell, it practically writes itself..."As I climbed off the bike in the moonlight and my bare feet touched the cool ground, I adjusted my orange bikini and asked Brian if he needed any help with pressure points..." :wideeyed:
