Deaf Bikers: What do you ride?

green427 · 10-16-2010, 06:21 PM

Curious about what the deaf community likes to ride. So far most like cruisers, but I haven't seen anyone with a standard, dualsport, or sportbike.

I currently have a 1995 Honda Nighthawk 750, which is a standard bike, and my wife has a 2005 Honda Rebel 250, which is a small cruiser. I used to have a 2007 Suzuki V-Strom, which is an 'adventure-sport' bike.

Here is my 1995 Nighthawk:

My wife's 2005 Rebel:

My 2007 Suzuki V-Strom (sadly, had to sell it to pay for a new roof!!!

)

I dont blame u for selling suzuki for new roof. Hope you can recoup and buy it back lol.

Honda rebel is cute bike. I went Honda motorcycle store and looked around little V twin. Sat on it and it resemble like a minibike on steriod

I was mot used to it cuz it's starkly small comparing to my big Volusia. I also sat on Yamaha Viagro which is like Honda Rebel as well. I was thinking of getting it for my wife in future.

Rebel is a very, very basic bike. Very handy to have for around-town commutes. Got it for my wife since she is only 5'3" and has never ridden a motorcycle before, so the Rebel is easy for her. At 80MPG, can't complain too much.

Here is a larger version of my avatar:

It is one of my favorite models that I made a long time ago, a green '65 Corvette with a 427 motor that I kitbashed from other model kits.

Somehow I don't visualize "moped" and "gang" together.

After I read that I asked TCS to look at the original avatar picture without telling him anything about it. I asked him what it was. He said that it looked like a 1964/65 Corvette Stingray, and probably had a 427 engine in it, due to the screen name.

He was surprised after when I showed him that it was a model. He was very impressed by the detail involved, especially in the engine compartment.

Thanks. You should see my other models. I stopped building them when 'life' got in the way. When the kids are out of the house and the wife stops bugging me, I will get back into the hobby.

I sold my last 2 bikes before I moved overseas...

2 days before my flight left, at a massive loss. For the uneducated, this is a turbocharged GSXR-1000 I had built in Ohio.

A month before my flight left.

I've also owned 2 other Hayabusas, a couple of CBR 900+'s, a Bandit 12, Duke and about a dozen other assorted bikes. I also used to write for Motorcycle Street and Strip magazine and have tested all sorts of bikes from the MV Augusta to strange one-off motorcycles to Ducatis.

A few months after moving here, I made the mistake of suggesting that we pick up a cheap moped for around-town errands. I nearly thought she was going to divorce me for saying such a thing. I certainly did not get "some" that night. She said that those little silly things were for limp-wristed people who did not know how to ride or handle real power. Sorry moped lovers...

She wants me back on a Hayabusa or at a minimum, a 1000cc bike. I do have to admit that the new 1000cc BMW is growing on me. Maybe, maybe not.

Hawaii is not very biker-friendly so I'm in no rush.

Just focus on the three babies for now.

Aquaman · 11-13-2010, 07:06 PM

Indeed Reba. I do wonder if it's legal to pile triplets into a sidecar though...

I'm sure the hospital staff would really love that as we all headed for home after delivery.
