Used to ride with a few clubs.
Funny as it may seem, but I recall putting away my old post war Lionel 675 to buy mini bikes and dirt bikes back in the early seventies. Two years ago I dug out that 675, had a blast running it and purchased a "bunch" of old and new trains since. Although I don't ride dirt bikes any more, my latest cycle is an 09 Harley Ultra Classic. My wife and I have clocked thousands of miles on various road trips, with last year taking a 12000 mile trip to Alaska. Of course, trains were a part of that trip; the Alaska Railroad has some spectacular scenery. Now that spring has arrived in Northern Michigan, the railroad tracks in the basement will have to wait for rainy days.

Well I don't have a street bike but I do have a Honda XR400 for dirt / trail riding. I also have a '76 Honda CT90 that I have restored for puttering around on the two tracks in northern Michigan.

I've been riding since 1970 when I paid off my last college loan. Took delivery of 2010 Gold Wing one week ago, my last bike. Just sat down after a nice ride this afternoon, that thing is a rocket ship Several long trips (all solo) planned for spring & summer, maybe even south ...........
I have a street-fightin' `97 Buell Cyclone, Its almost as much fun to spend money on as my trains!
Rode to the Hoosac Tunnel a few years back, with some fellow Trainiacs. Its a great thing to play with when its too nice out to stay inside and play trains.
06 Suzuki Burgman 400. Amazing bike. Smooth and quick. 80 mpg and 90+ mph.
Rode for 19 years until we got t-boned by a deer last year. Had '97 Goldwing but it was totaled in the wreck.
Ole Timer .... 1 %er in the past .
Are you planning another scoot?
+1 '99 Harley Dyna Convertible.

Been riding since 1964, bought my 1st hd in '68,xlch. ride an 06 flhtc now days been thru 46 of the lower 48.
The potholes, poorly maintained roads, and the ignorant drivers up this way keep my brain in check until the urge to get one passes. The bikes were out in force up in New Hampshire last weekend as the temps climbed North of 50 for the first time in months.

IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Hello I ride a 02 Harley Wide Glide been riding on the street for 10 years riding dirt bikers for 30 years. I like the bike better for rail fanning easier to get around on. Have a nice day Frank
We used to ride everywhere, but after coming to Ca many years ago it only took one ride on the freeway to realize it was time to quit.
I have a Huffy 18 speed mountain bike. I ride that daily for 10-20 miles.

I learned how to ride long before I ever owned a car. The wife and I have been cross country three times coast to coast and through 31 states. We currently own a red 04 Heritage Softail Harley.
Now if some decent weather would get here to go for a spin......
