Hahahahaha... actually yes I do! Went riding about 60 miles yesterday in the hills after class, over the weekend I put a couple of hundred on and last week I got as many as I could doing small rides around town and the local twisty roads.

I ride as much as I (and the parents allow) can, which is every day for atleast an hour or two and on the weekends I try and ride quite a bit.

This weekend I have over 400 miles of riding planned.

Very cool. You remind me of myself at your age. I was 17, rode a buddy's Yamaha FZR600 at a party one night (first bike ride ever), got hooked, went to Larson's Cycle later that weekend and rode home on a brand new Yamaha YZF600R (closest thing to an R6 these days, not like the pansy looking 600R they make now). I rode as much as could (nervous/over protective parents), and was mostly a safe rider. You will lay your bike down at some point in your riding days, so stay protected, and stay safe.

And I guess I shouldn't rip on you too bad for how much you ride...I've only been able to ride about 100 miles so far this year (damn snow). Seriously...had like 2 weeks in the 50s, then we've had like 3 weeks in the 30s. When will winter ever end??

agreed. but snow mixed with the inadequate ice melting chemicals that eat metal, and then the icy roads...no thanks.

Cool, I used to enjoy riding in the snow as long as the roads were not icy.

When I was working full time on night shift I used to have to stop on the way to work and wipe the snow and the ice off the headlight because I could not see.

Had some very pleasant and memorable rides.

Only problem was that my bikes always looked like hell. I don't ride much when it is snowing any more, ... but my bikes still look like hell!
