Anybody ride?

[mmenzie]

i'm not talking about vaping while you ride. often when i go on group rides it is an all day affair. lots of miles of riding with some long stops for breaks and food. some breaks can be an hour or longer. i would love to be able to have a vape that i could keep in my shirt/vest pocket or in my gas tank bag (a very small bag for those who never seen one that looks like it can hold a pack of cigarettes and a lighter) that has the battery life to last the whole day (not in use of course just enough life for the sessions) and has a good taste.

What I meant was is that I don't vape unless I'm done riding for the day, I prefer to stay as sharp as possible until I stop for the night. I have a Solo I can bring on camping trips though, and an outlet to power either one of my log vapes of my bike's battery to boot

I ride a Yamaha FZ6, year round, my only transportation for 4 years. Not the bike in my avatar (I can dream ), a Triumph Speed Triple. Seriously addicted to riding. Nothing like some good twisties to get the adrenaline flowing.

Cool, more pictures

I finally worn out my stickies and ordered some all road tires for the TDM this weekend. Man, those are hard to find for a 18" front rim.

Is that a Sportster, Jeppy?

OTA, that is a 103" Dyna Street Bob. This is one of my sportsters:

I've been restoring a 72 ironhead that I bought at a complete utter basket case, it was entirely disassembled in 77 and left outside... In Michigan. We're currently on year 3 and were buttoning up the wiring needless to say we are very very close to bein complete.

'ol' SP hardtail..

Try keeping up with 'this' guy at 115mph all the way to LA............

Ah, cool, thanks Jeppy. I don't know that much about the HDs, but I did thought it looked a bit funny for a Sportster

My uncle just turned 70 and decided to sell his 2001 Sportster & give up on riding finally. It must have been a though decision but I'm really glad he did, it just wasn't save anymore as old age started to creep up on him.

I really like the Night Train myself, of the newer HD bikes, but that hardtail looks pretty badass too I must say

Awesome project Pcp, I betcha that's gonna be so good to ride after all that time

Does anyone here know if there's anything like a budget bike rental company in the USA?

I'm looking for something I can pick up in one state and leave in another, preferably something light and nimble that can handle some light offroading too. I don't mind an older bike as long as it's reliable enough to do 2 to 3000 miles on.

From what I've seen online so far you pay like a 100 bucks a day at least for most rentals, & that would just totally kill my budget. I may just have to buy something cheap and sell it again or give it to my buddy when I leave, but if anyone has any other ideas I'd really like to hear them.
