both but i barely drove the Harley last year. radio and ac is nice

LOL, grew up on bikes and have an original '83 Interceptor rotting in the barn (for sale if anyone wants a project bike). I started getting the itch again and was salivating over the introduction of the KTM Super Duke R (180hp/420lbs). Once the wife and grown children got wind of my renewed biking intentions, they were happy to push me toward an open muscle car with the result being a factory order 2SS/RS Vert.

I couldn't be happier.

It's funny how we use our "Man Power" to get things! Crap I hope my CFO don't see that!!

I enjoy them both! It is usually a toss up. Which one should I take today?

Nice! I would need you as another neighbor. I could see it NOW, finally be able to drive down a city block and all the cars and bikes would match in each driveway! Be like a car show every day!

Was a bike guy forever, dirt and street...

Lost a few riding buddies and seen quite a few get messed up. My motto was "Hey when it's your time, its your time" But that's BS... Don't make it your time. I sold my R1 and bought a blower for the car.

Way to go! That's how I feel also!

Been riding since I was old enough to run the throttle for my uncle when he broke hids arm!
But 2 years ago I made the decsion to sell our Goldwing and buy our Camaro Convertible. Done regret it one bit.
To many people driving on the rode paying more attention to their smartphone than their surroundings.
Hadnt had a accident in 40+ years and didnt want to start now.

Hey with the drop top I can still have the wind thru my hair(not much left!) and have the safety and piece of mind that I have 2 tons of metal and plastic around me.

Car guy but have had cycles too. Not much fun on a cycle with traffic and straight roads in Chicago area IMHO. Not enough time to just cruise, if given a choice, I prefer Dirt bikes and atv's over a street bike.

pmandeep · 03-31-2014, 08:51 AM

I am a car guy, even though I love motorcycles but have never owned one, the thought of getting one has always crossed my mind but again the fact that more then half of the people these days have their eyes off the road and on their phones scares me and sways me away from the idea of purchase.

I will stick with the two extra set of wheels and the 2+ tons of metal cage protecting me any given day.

Hotwheels426 · 03-31-2014, 11:20 AM

me and wife both have bikes..don,t ride nearly as much as we used to since we got the ragtop..

MikeSVX · 03-31-2014, 11:24 AM

I'm insalted by the fact that you assume I can't be both, because I am.....
