Back in the saddle again...
« on: September 23, 2016, 04:27:13 AM »
Greetings from South Florida!  It's been 8 years since I've owned a bike.  Far too long! 

I had this Yamaha VStar for 9 years and loved it, although I always wanted a Harley.



Now, I'm riding in style.  This CB550 has so much character.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

Coral Springs, which is about 30 minutes west of Fort Lauderdale. Are you local?

Not today  ;D I actually live in VA, but travel to FL (seems like daily). Just go home last night from Orlando/Tampa. There's a few members down your way, others in Central, and several more nearer to JAX.

No, we're flying a big metal bird (wife & daughter too).

Have a Mustang convertible reserved to cruise the beaches!
