What motivates you?

[Maelstrom]

I think one common denominator of all of us is an elevated level of insanity. If I wanted to be like everybody else, I would have gotten a black Harley, spent more time polishing it than in the saddle...I would have dressed up like a pirate a couple of times a year whenever I decided to abscond with the garage queen for a trip to Hooters to get a pic with a waitress on it...nah...I just want to ride!...you know, RIDE!

I bought it because i knew it was the only bike Art would aprove

NOW your getting the idea BUT I have a bunch of bikes and they are all fun so you have to buy a pile of them and then they call you CRAZY

I just sold 3 of my 7 bikes. I understand 100% where you are coming from. i am not done thinning the herd. I still have a Ural 750 Tourist to sell along with a Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Classic. I would be down to just 2 bikes. Both of them are a lot of fun.

My wife said it was the coolest bike she has ever seen. She bought it for me on my 50th birthday. But she also gave me the payment book.

I made every payment with a smile.

My racing days have long passed me by.
I have aged too much for my other competitive and adventure activities.
AND . . . sometimes a man just has to head out and BLOW THE STINK OFF! (feel younger)
The Roadster REALLY BLOWS it off for me!!!

I had had tiny bikes, and I had had medium sized bikes, and had a very practical and useful bike - that had started boring the **** out of me. I looked at what to get next. It had to tour, it had to appeal to me, and if it was a little insane and very cool that didn't hurt. Started looking, found the Touring, saw the black and red, fell in lust, found one that hadn't sold and was 5 grand less than local MSRP - traded my bike in for it and haven't looked back since.

@Idaho Red Rocket 3 and @cr0ft , y'all hit the nail on the head for me -- former with a positive look at life and Rockets, and the latter -- long lost brother ? Naaaaahhhh
