I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

I've ridden motorcycles for over years. If you have a disability or are in your 70s, I can see buying one. I find it hard not to laugh out loud when I look at one.

They may be ugly, but they sure are expensive.  Can't see a motorcycle having more than 2 wheels. If you need more, get a Miata convertible. Jerry

I appreciate the question - a lot. After all, most of us started riding a trike at about 2 or 3, and later moved up to the 2 wheeled bike. Since then I have ridden everything from the old Harleys, an Indian Chief, a Norton Twin, a Vincent Black Shadow, two Triumphs, a BSA and later some of the good rice burners. Now, well past 70 and living way back on a tricky gravel road, but still wanting to ride, with my wife along - your inquiry rings the bells of practicality. Looking forward to some good experienced replies.

My brother and I were pointing and laughing at them in the commercial over lunch. I've seen guys on real motorcycles ignore the standard "biker wave" when some guy on a Can Am tries to act like he's on a real motorcycle.

Buy a Gold Wing they aren't as gay. Close. Why is it that everyone who rides one has antennas sticking out of their helmets. Must have abandonment issues.

$25K, no track record, and not really a motorcycle.
Buy a convertible

Buy a convertible $25K for that piece of gay schit! On second thought, invest in one...they'll be rare collectors items soon.

The only thing gayer than riding one of those would be worrying about what the "real bikers" think of you.
your flippant remarks which you so adeptly sling

Agreed on the gay biker wave.
Whatever that thing is supposed to be I hope the owners enjoy them. But if you think it's a bike? Wow...

Kinda reminds of the old joke about what a fat girl and a moped have in common? They're both fun to ride until your friends see you!...

I've never understood the need to waive at another guy just because you're both on motorcycles. It's not worrying about what "real bikers" think of you on one...it's knowing what they think of you riding one. LOL GAY!
