Dang!!!!!!!!!! no wonder I'm broke. | Yeah, that's a lot of bikes! Including the "several" dirt bikes, that's like 1 for every couple years!
I've only had one...and it just fell over - well, to be fair a storm BLEW it over, it didn't just fall over by itself - into a corner where I can't even get it back up on it's wheels by myself to see what else broke in addition to the mirror that I *can* see! Grrrrrrrr... |

| | | 2008 Harley ultra classic. Excellent bike, more stable, cruise control. When I can no longer hold it up the next bike will be a 3 wheeler. I'm a 55 yr old woman.
Started driving sportster 2006, it was too tippy. |

| | | My current bike is a Ducati GT1000 2008. Absolutely love riding and have done since I had my first motorcycle in 1970. I was diagnosed in May this year and at the moment I am managing on diet and exercise. One of the main reasons I try so hard to control my diabetes with diet and exercise is because I know that it will extend the time that I can remain a licensed rider without concerning myself regarding the taking of Meds and Hypo's. |

Sounds about right to me.

| | i'm an enduro man, myself.
currently i "own" (i say own but i really mean my dad owns it but you would think i do with how much i ride compared to him) a 2004 Suzuki DRZ400s with all the mods. I absolutely love riding through the desert trails
eventually i want to save enough money to get either a honda CRF450x or XR650r thats baja worthy and hopefully in a few years time race the baja 1000 (a lifelong dream of mine)!!!
in fact, im not sure if there's ever been a diabetic to compete in the baja...who knows, maybe i can be the first!
