    "Not 250 friendly rides" - What does that mean?

    Meh. Same here :). Not welcome? That's fine. I'd rather feel welcome in a group that is more inclusive, than exclusive.

    Is the season over?

    If the weather holds out, and if you mean you would prefer to ride in the best of conditions (not too cold, etc..), then you can keep going into October and November. When temps are double digits and the roads are clear, you're still good to go :). Some like to ride year 'round... You can...

    How do you deal with generally unpleasant people?

    Hey OP, That's pretty twisted for someone to follow you to you destination. Keep a sharp lookout for your bike for awhile. People nutters enough after 20 minutes to attempt to re-escalate a confrontation are something to keep an eye on. At least the car is easy to spot. I've been pushed to the...

    The Childfree Movement

    I've read a ton of posts. And each side of the discussion has it's reasons for having and not having kids. Each time I've heard the "selfish" term. And we're right, both sides have their selfish reasons :). That's animal behaviour. But as one step up in the evolutionary scale, we just take...

    shortie needs a new bike

    *le sigh* I'ma shorty too. 5 foot 1, and about 100 pounds or so. But sometimes when it comes to seat height, it's leg length you may want to consider :). IWent to the Honda Rock the Red Event a few weeks back and tried on the newer CBR600. It was lighter than most bikes I've sat on, and I...

    ^ I can relate to this :). I'm only 5'1", but inseam is 29". 100 pounds, abouts. Inseam (therefore leg length, not entire body height), weight and confidence factors will help you decide. I tippy toed my 2011 cbr250r for the first few months, but needed more confidence. Skimming teh pavement...

    Went for my first ride last night

    Nope, apparently it's an equal opportunity experience :D. This person probably laughed at it with her buds and happily announced, "Hey, guess what? I ran a biker off the road today. I'm such a bad-***!" But to us this type of conversation sounds like: "I came so close to following through on...

    Went for my first ride last night

    Doesn't matter what speed your'e going sometimes. For some reason the ones in their cars get a small buzz out of passing a bike :/. A few days ago I was going with the traffic flow, over speed on a 60kph road and a smart *** in a convertible thought she would impress her passengers by almost...

    I took the kids over to watch the braver (and older) 6 yrs and up munchkins ride around on the little 50cc dirtbikes. Omg they were just too cute, whizzing around on the grass, and all dressed up in red Honda gear :)!

    Anyone ever had to deal with this?

    When the plants and grass that line the roads is dry, and the weather is hot with no rain in sight, you have a tinderbox just waiting to catch alight. So if a grass fire starts and then burns down a forested area because of one careless butt it becomes a media event. But if it hits a biker, no...
