Should I get a motorcycle?
So, it takes me an hour to get to work and then another hour to get back home. I always see these bikers flying by...and I wish it was me. I've been wanting a bike for a while now...but I'd like to know the pros and cons.

Answered No. Motorcycles are way too dangerous.
If you think it takes long now, think about those who have been badly injured on them. Even with a helmet.
And what about bad weather, slippery roads. The weather can turn bad during the workday; you can't exactly pull up the ragtop on one of those things! -
Answered Yes. Motorcycles are a great way of commuting.
Been riding since I was 13 and I am slightly older now. Well, my mind set is that of a teenager. Been riding for 43 years now. Took a slight break a few years ago and did NOT like being without a scooter. Have an 03 Softail Deuce and and 06 Sportster 1200 Custom. BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL ! If you have not already taken the Motorcycle Safety course, put that first on your list. Hard lesson learned, on a bike, you NEVER have the right of way and folks will run over you ! The "CONS", cold in the winter and you get soaked when it rains if you are not "suited" up properly. -

i have been riding now for 35 years and i love it. they are not dangerous like people think. the danger is the idiot's that dont look out for motorcycles. we also have a right to be on the road. it nice on two wheel's and not being couped up in a car all the time. and yes i have had my share of this idiot's. i have been hit a few time's and knocked down more then once. thank god nothing to bad. and it's alway's the first thing out of their mouth's is i did not see you. you have to aware of your srounding's when you ride. i still ride every day. and will till i can't do it no more. so if you really want one get it. but buy a real motorcycle the only way to go is a (harley.} i see a lot of women riding harley's. good luck
