Talk me out of/into a motorcycle

I sold my all my bikes when my son was born. In the few years of riding I went down hard one time and my back will never be the same. Buy a little $2000 Honda to commute with. I also like drinking a coffee on the way to work and you can't do that on a bike.

Camelback FTW.

 

I plan on getting an Elio for daily commutes, but they are not available just yet.

Going to have the same registration problems as the Slingshot?  Helmet required?  Dork factor may kill it before it starts!

That's my local Lowe's store. I'm in there on occasion when all the supply houses are closed. I'll have to stop in and say hi one day. I've lived in this area most of my life been riding dirt bikes since I was about 6 when my dad got me a Honda 50 for my birthday. Got my first street bike at 17 and have always had a bike until recently. With that said I've been hit by car's riding around Morris county 3 times since 1994 when I got my license. Somehow I'm still alive, (some nerve damage in my leg and shoulder) but alive. 206 and 46 are pretty busy roads. People don't pay attention during commuter hours. If your looking to live a long life I recommend getting a Honda Civic instead, for a commuter vehicle. Or just move up here closer to work. It's a Republican area and some really nice places to live surrounding Mt. Olive. Long Valley, Flanders, Chester, Roxbury Twp. All great towns. Taxes are a little on the high side but good schools, low crime, and close to everything.

Yeah man stop by. Ask for ASM Chris. Me and my gf just looked at a house on drakestown road actually

Lol as I'm reading this I'm sitting at the traffic light at drakes town and 206!

Umm, hmmmmn,slight cough.

My wife commutes to work on casual dress days.

Maybe she should show you guys how to harden up a little?

 

Dude, you only live once, don't live in fear.

You could die of numerous things in life.

SA, nuff said

I was riding bitch in the passenger seat. Made my helper drive between jobs so I could call some customers.

With that said... I still miss my bike, and would like another. Just know the risks... I was lucky.

Buy a little $2000 Honda to commute with.

I have 9 bikes of varying flavors and second the cheap Honda suggestion. However, my experience is that a midsize cruiser like a Honda Shadow 750cc is better. If you commute, get a big honking crash bar and some metal saddlebag cans. They may just save your legs when you eventually lowside.

 

Also, get one of these suits

Lastly, reflect on this before you make your decision:

"There are old riders, and then there are bold riders."

Checko, I tend to agree with others who have said this state is hazardous for people who ride street bikes.  I don't ride a street bike.  Too dangerous around here.  And that's coming from someone who races motocross bikes.

 

Consider a beater car and just liability insurance.  Every Honda I had went 150K miles before a single thing broke.  Maybe an older Civic or Prelude would fit the bill.

Yup - reading these is one of the reasons my ole Gold Wing sits parked. 

 

Not so much for my own benefit...but because of current responsibilities to my wife; she is slowly recovering from (motorcycle-unrelated) head injuries.  We can't both be down.
