On the Road Again ... Finally!

[Randdon]

Hi All, My name is Randall and I have been a looky loo here for about a year now. Bought a 2012 Rocket 3 Touring last summer early on. I started riding when I was 17, against my parents wishes with a brand new 79 550E Suzuki, which my brother in law co-signed for as my parents didn't like him much then ... I rode for 10 - 12 years, raced for 2 summers and then once I got married, there was no money for insurance to ride. Last year I came back with a vengeance, on a R3! Now the unfortunate thing about that is keeping in my mind that it's not a little rice burning crank bike!!! Floor board scrape bars are getting worn out, tires, need a new set, and I just can't get enough of riding the bike! Thanks for having me!

Welcome from South Wales. Oh the things we did against our parents wishes. Great knowledge here as you need to get things done,

Welcome from Germany! Did the same thing at 17 saved the money and bought an old kaw750 and started riding. They weren't too happy but loved me just the same the tattoos....well that's a different story altogether!

Hi,
Welcome aboard. When I was 17 I wanted to upgrade to a bigger bike. My folks said I could go up to 500cc. I fell in love with a 750 Enfield (which was one of the biggest and most powerful twins at that time) and bought it telling them it was a 500. My Dad often said "that's some engine for a 500".
