In NY , all winter they put so much sand and chemical on the roads, this year for example , took to mid May to wash all that stuff off the road surfaces so it's reasonably safe to ride. So the spring oil changes, carb clean outs, and a good general going over of each machine isn't rushed at my house .Once it's April, I know there is a month before my machines see pavement. That's spring.
While daylight hours are spent working , thinking about riding , and sometimes getting some riding in, the rest of the Spring ,Summer, and fall is spent in the shop rebuilding these old Hondas. Have found few things that I like better than that.
Which brings me to this thread, I am wondering what to get as the" other" bike. I got em semi chopped , mildly cafe'd, stock and everything in between, and at the end of the day it's all kinda the same. So I was thinking that perhaps broadening my horizon with a different machine might get me more seat time or a different kind of seat time. I want to take long rides comfortably, want something dependable, that handles well, that has decent acceleration , something not old, doesn't have to be new, not slow, or funny looking...... I don't know where or what to look for , I'm clueless right now and was hoping to get an idea through other riders here without looking lame. Okay so that's not happening, so the question still is what is your "other" bikes and why.
And of course, pics are always welcome.
