I know there's the bikes bikes bikes thread that gets the occasional motorbike post, but I'm wondering if there's enough interest to start a thread for us to have our own.
Started riding 40 years ago when I was 12, long hiatus and started again about 15 years ago (I called my first bike the "Midlife Express").
For the last four years I've loved riding this now 42-year old Honda XL 250S around NYC. Such a great bike for our sh!tty streets, and tons of character. It's the bike I wanted when I was 14 but couldn't have.
Before that I had a fantastic Kawa Versys 650 that was sadly completely wrecked when a giant chunk of rock came off my building during Hurricane Sandy.
