Very nice. Just a FYI, 4 mile runs do really good relieving stress for me and they are free.

But hey, its the doctor's orders,

I owned a motorcycle once and really enjoyed riding it. Have fun and be safe.

Mount a planter on it and sow a seed, you can say you took up gardening, and have to take it out for a ride to get sun and fresh air.

I had water bottles mounted just like that on my bike.




And playing cards on the spokes. I bet they sound the same, atleast when moving.
Guess I had that hybrid version that the engine only ran while moving.

After military life went to hell for a couple years. My Roadking saved my life. Great choice man. Everything just melts away.

Motorcycles are a lot of fun, but I don't know if it will reduce your stress level in the long run. Insurance, tires, and maintenance are added responsibilities and costs, and your stress level is going to go through the roof if you have a dealer do the work. Expensive and usually wrong are not calming experiences. Doing your own work makes motorcycles a far better experience.

Well, that depends on your level of financial freedom, and mechanical aptitude! I know a guy who finds an oil change horribly stressful!:LOL:

I like how your "stress reliever" has evolved. The "Mrs." is riding in style with that seat and backrest combo. Looks comfy. Less wind (and bugs) to fight too with the added windshield. Enjoy the therapy.

My neighbor has so many more people living in his small house than it was designed for it's crazy and his young son would trigger the car alarms every time he rode off on his bike. I live at the top of a long, steep hill and coast down to an spot to start it where it won't upset anyone. As for financial concerns, I'm at an age and place in my life where those concerns no longer exists...years of hard work building businesses.

I logged over 300K miles on touring bikes in my youth (puffed rice) but gave em up when I got married and became a dad. Haven't actually ridden in 30 years but a classic Harley has always been a bucket list thing. Now I'm an empty nester. I just gotta figure out how to explain it to the wife. Better to beg forgiveness than request permission. :cool:

High cost, incompetent maintenance and repair usually are a buzz kill. Though, a dealer serviced motorcycle is great training for boat ownership.
The guy just bought a motorcycle. He's not asking your advice on a possible purchase.
Then you just come in here and shit on his happiness. What a Fin Prick

He here to brag, not get crapped on by a negative Nancy.
Go turn the lights off in your room and cry yourself to sleep. The world is falling.
