<p>Riding is/was my hobby. I still love riding and love everything about motorcycles. However, I left my bike in storage before PCSing to Japan due to some of the laws and regulations here. </p><p> </p><p>I often joke that I miss my bike more than some of my family back in the states. Or is it a joke? lol I've been riding since I got on my first dirt bike when I was about 7 or 8. I love everything about riding and the feeling of freedom I get while on a bike. </p><p> </p><p>I was the motorcycle mentor for a little over a year at my last unit and it was probably one of the best "additional" duties ever! lol I loved helping new riders learn how to ride and pick out the "perfect" bike for them. I was always available to talk to another rider or help wok on another riders bike. Whatever they needed. I always stressed the importance of PPE. I am big on PPE. I am glad the Army enforces the boots, long sleeves, gloves etc...I always used it before the Army and still do every time I ride. </p><p> </p><p>Here are a couple pictures of my bike. Anyone else feel like sharing their love for motorcycling? Or their thoughts on the PPE? I know PPE is a big debate for some people. </p>

250s and 650s are good starter bikes, most find after getting used to riding or riding with others you want more, more power, more speed, more, more, more, it is an addiction

Haha I understand. That was my first bike ever so I agree that it was a great starter bike. Not great at handling the weight of 2 people hence why I'm upgrading to a 650.

I wouldn't describe myself as an Enthusiast so much as a Practical Rider. First started riding as a form of fun, yet inexpensive transportation. Previously I've had a Kawasaki KZ650; 1985 HD XLX; Royal Enfield Bullet 500 with sidecar (Beer Runs and Grocery Shopping, also held some Scuba Equipment or my Bagpipes quite nicely as well). My current beast of burden is the 883 sagging under my fat ass, seen here.

Nice bike! My Sportster 1200 that was in my original post just got traded in a couple months ago for a Street Glide Special. Love my new bike but definitely miss my Sporty at times too! They're fun bikes.

Love my first Harley I bought it about 3 years ago. It’s an 08 ultra classic. I added the dirty air system so I can adjust my ride while in motion. I can also lower the bike to make it a lot easier to get on and off it’s a great system.

Really like to do about 3,000 to 4,000 mile trips once a year from California to Sturgis or up into Wyoming! Here's my newest addition to the family of Harley's that Iv'e owned over the last 10 years.
