Decades ago, when most people probably had experience riding a bicycle as an adult, a motorcycle could have been perceived as a "bicycle with a motor."

As much as I like it, it isn't as fun to scoot around on as my '88 Hurricane - 400 ish pounds, and not as tippy feeling.Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02292873423927609760noreply@blogger.com
