Hey! I am in no way boring!!!! Nor am I middle management, or a man, or a dentist. I hate football. Wait, I do watch the weather channel on occasion even though there is a huge 9 foot sliding glass door beside my television...

That said, f*ck fitting in! Ride what you like.

Just ride!

I've since sold the cruiser and am back on my true love, my R6.

Maybe down the road, I'll do the cruiser thing again.

For the record, I am 40.

Yep pretty much went through the same.

I wouldn't mind having a cruiser AND a sportbike but that would mean 4 bikes since the wife also rides...maybe one day.

If I only have one bike...sportbike it is.

If I swung that way, I'd be all over it. She's a looker.

But I don't swing that way, and I'm taken anyway.

Noone's ever too old to ride a sport bike. I hope to be as active and still riding as much as the old man I used to watch hit the MX track a couple of years ago when I was going. The man was in his 60's, rode a 2-stroke 250 and could launch that fucking bike like it was nothing! Double/triple jumps, clearing a big as table top

...that dude is awesome! If he can ride MX that hard at that age, then I have high hopes of me riding a sport bike well past that.

I wish I could remember where I read that sportbike back position was better for you than cruiser position. I'm guessing cruiser guys slouch.

+trillion. Plus the fact that when you're on a sportbike the wind props you up anyway.
