Why a cruiser?

[inlinefour]

Yes there are,but the cruiser riders i know prefer to travel at a more sedate pace and know they,ve got a better than average chance of coming home in one piece.But if ringing the shit out of your sportsbike is what gives you a chubby at the end of the day, then fill your boots mate.

being with a woman that I care about gives me the chubby. Riding a high preformance bike was just one of my favourite passtimes...

Ah well, seems like it's waaay to late to even try and explain.

Ya ride what ya ride and who cares what the other guy rides.......

Not much point explaining I agree, I'm looking at some stage getting a trike and guess what sort of style its going to be (just to help, its not going to be high preformance eh), I understand the deal, just are a tad concerned that it might be over ya head bro...

Hmmm.... an M109R trike with a hydraulic chair lift Do we have a badassmofo smiley yet?

Someone needs to tell Burt Munro that!

Better be a psychic!

The age thing gets in doesn't it? We get more in touch with our mortality and the younger set says 'harden up'. Their turn will come to slow down. I actually like taking it easy, you see more, there's less sweat etc.

Its the babe factor thing with cruisers, there is a group of little grey headed old ladys with walking frames down the road from me, they never used to acknowladge me till I got the X

Nah its all about the ride, the kama. and tooting the sports bike rider talking to the man in blue who passed me a while back.

[Winger]

[X-Ryder]

As long as they aint kitted with NOS I'll be in with a chance

just out of interest what made you buy a cruiser,


my reasons , started 3 to 4 years ago, started watching OCC , wanted to build a occ bike , then found out about certs , and that put paid to that, then i found this bike with a 240 rear tyre,100+ci,looked like it was something out of a sifi movie and looked like it was going 100mph while it was standing still, and at a cost i could afford,and the riding postion, had to have my feet out in front of me, a cruiser, some people hate it some people love it ,but i would not ride anything but a cruiser

i got one to try one...it was rubbish, so i sold it.
110kmh max speed, from a 400?

I was going to reply with something similar but you beat me to it.

That's why they're called cruisers, they're for cruising. I don't enjoy my bike much over 170-180, it's a handful. At 120-140 it's an all-day affair.

What's your point buddy?
