Why a cruiser?

[johnnyflash]

Cruising on my bike is like cruising in a Cadillac; there's no hurry coz I'm already where I want to be.

Heheh, Well said that man.. in a nutshell

Why, thank you. I've always been a stickler for application; you don't rally in a Caddy, you don't try to wheelstand HD's, you don't tour on a scooter or do tight slaloms on a Fatboy. Pretty simple.

Fatboys can do slaloms quite well in the right hands.

Personnally I think folk are just far too black and white in the application of some things.

just out of interest what made you buy a cruiser,

Saw it, liked it, brought it it

Cause anything else would make me just another sportbike rider.

my reasons , started 3 to 4 years ago, started watching OCC ... 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

Ditto!! Although I only got into OCC in the last couple years. The M109R is so much more comfortable to ride than the GSXR's I had prior, which left me with back and wrist pain. Riding the cruiser gives me a huge grin every time I turn that key and head out - which is never often enough!

Hang on, are we talking about a 250cc Hyosung or Creamofsumyung Guy?

the 250cc Wonton Dragon.

True......instead of just another cruiser rider. But remember I'm individual....just like everyone else....blah blah blah......cruisers are individual in small packs, in large packs they aren't.....same goes for sportsbikes, trikes, scooters, bicycles, eggs, inkjet printers and washing machines

Wish I'd said that! But my poor braincell jus' been a bit overworked lately! Think I need to go for a ride and clear my head...

I know that feeling, Been in the cage all week, fighting traffic for 9 hours each day.... Im rather looking to a decent run next weekend 24th, but hopefully the weather will stay good this weekend so I can get a short run in to blow out the cobwebs... >>> Cruisers <<<

I think my bike keeps me safely away from being just another cruiser rider aswell.

Lumere popped in this arvo to show me his "new" ride!

He's a 60+, (sorry mate, hope you don't mind...), "returning biker", and reckons it's been a real stress reliever! Not "just another cruiser rider", either!

Got it off a Ulysses member and the more I looked at it the more mods I spotted! See how many you can spot? It's a '99 VL1500.

I hope you both are planning on coming on the 24th June cruiser ride then!
