Diesel RVs: 12/01/18

Wow, but you ARE late to the party. I bought my first electric-leg only bike, an '82 Harley XLS, over 15-years ago! Still, I don't ride it as much as the kick-start only '69 BSA Rocket 3 (the Beeser 750)....

Mark in Centennial, CO (currently riding an '02 Kaw VN750 'cuz kicking over a 50-year-old bike with 20w-50 oil in 20-degree F weather just takes too long!)

You forgot the kick starters but those ended long ago ~ I just purchased my first ever Moto without a kick starter : a 1974 BMW R60/6 .

ROTFL ! .=8-) .

#22 : riding a full size street Motocycle up or down a staircase is fun and exciting .

It's also a very good way to die so I stopped doing it in the late 1990's .

the most effective manipulation and responsibility-avoidance behavior is lying.

Apparently all the Baby-Boomers now all have their motorcycles. Generation X is only buying a few and the next generation isn't buying any at all.

Here are the reasons why Millennials don't ride motorcycles:

1. Pants won't pull up far enough for them to straddle the seat.

2. Can't get their phone to their ear with a helmet on.

3. Can't use 2 hands to eat while driving.

4. They don't get a trophy and a recognition plaque just for buying one.

5. Don't have enough muscle to hold the bike up when stopped.

6 Might have a bug hit them in the face and then they would need emergency care.

7. Motorcycles don't have air conditioning.

8. They can't afford one because they spent 4-6 years in college trying to get a degree in Humanities, Social Studies, Art History or Gender Studies for which no jobs are available.

9. They are allergic to fresh air.

10. Their pajamas get caught on the exhaust pipes.

11. They might get their hands dirty checking the oil.

12. The handle bars have buttons and levers and cannot be controlled by touch-screen.

13. You have to shift manually and use something called a clutch.

14. It's too hard to take selfies while riding.

15. They don't come with training wheels like their bicycles did.

16. Motorcycles don't have power steering or power brakes.

17. Their nose ring interferes with the face shield.

18. They would have to use leg muscles to back up.

19. When they stop, a light breeze might blow exhaust in their face.

20 It could rain on them and expose them to non-soft water.

21. It might scare their therapy dog, and then the dog would need therapy.

22. Can't get the motorcycle down the stairs to their parents' basement.
