Re: "Bikers" vs. people who just own bikes

I ride most of the time. The only time I dont ride anymore is if there is lightening in the area, snow, or temperature is below 30' F. I even went on a 2500 mile bike trip this past March. Started two days after a 13" snow storm here in Southern Indiana. Worst part of this was getting the bike down my 250' driveway with snow packed on the driveway. Used my tractor the day before to clear most of it but still had 4" of snow to get down.

Lightening didnt bother me until a month ago, got caught in a thunderstorm on the way home from work. Ligtening streaked above me and I felt static discharge in both hands and feet.

I rode my gz250 11,000 miles last year in 6 months; bought the C50 last October and have 15,000 miles on it already.
I think this classifies me as a motorcylist (biker) instead of a bike rider :-)
