In today's video, I talk about why I stopped riding motorcycles after this event happened. ➡️ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJ-Fg899ndm5onk.html - Click here to watch I Lost Everything... 👉www.realmenrealstyle.com/personal-development-goals - Click here to read the article 10 Things That Completely Changed My Life (Improve For The Better).

I took a break from riding as well, but I ended up studying motorcycle accidents quite thoroughly and concluded that it could be done with acceptable risk if you commit yourself to several important safety decisions (and don't let yourself give in): 1. High-visibility airbag vest -- expensive but incredibly valuable in an accident, and high-vis makes such a HUGE difference. Helite Turtle is a great option as it expands massively and locks your helmet in place, acting as a neck brace. There's no doubt that these alone save lives. 2. White (gloss) full-face helmet -- get whatever is 3rd-party tested to be one of the best since the standards are iffy 3. ABS -- will never ride another bike without it. It makes such a huge difference in the "oh @#$%" moments, different weather or road conditions, gravel, tar snakes, etc... it sucks cause it means no vintage bikes but it cuts your risk almost in half right there 4. Absolutely zero alcohol or drugs, and recognizing when you're too tired or distracted to be riding 5. Bike must be visible, preferably bright red bodywork as it contrasts well on green wooded backgrounds, and must have the orange running lights on all the time, can't just be one white light on the front as it's impossible for other vehicles to tell where you are or how fast you're going or even that you're a vehicle at all 6. COMMIT to not getting angry with other drivers. I've decided before I get on the bike that I will forgive others and not get angry. I've seen so many crashes and dangerous situations resulting from riders trying to assert themselves and it's completely pointless 7. Be extremely mindful of speeding. It helps to get a slower bike that you can rev out a bit and not be flying. Getting a bike that does 140 km/h in 1st gear is asking for trouble in my experience. There's a time and place to get on it, and it definitely isn't everywhere. I've found the sweet spot for me is around 10-15 hp per 100 lbs of bike. 8. Full riding gear with level 2 CE armor -- jacket, pants, gloves, boots (in addition to FF helmet and high-viz airbag vest) and commit to wearing it. You can get really airy stuff for the hot weather. 9. Practice essential riding and emergency skills. We all know how valuable it is but almost nobody actually does it. Emergency maneuvers should be muscle memory, not learning on the fly under duress. Quick lane changes, emergency braking (including within corners), and a big one is learning to recognize and fight object fixation. So many accidents happen because the rider looks at the place they might crash into rather than snapping out of it and focusing on turning the bike. 10. Avoiding certain routes/times that are considerably dangerous. Whether it's a stretch known for animal crossings at night or a city road that's really sketchy during rush hour, be mindful of whether or not a road should be avoided. Anyways, there are more ideas than just those, such as group riding and maintenance considerations, but those are what I consider to be the essentials. If you do all those, I think the risk of riding can be lowered to an acceptable level to be worthwhile. Riding is inherently dangerous but so is driving, cycling, many jobs, boating, etc... it's all about identifying the risks and mitigating them. I'm on bike 5 now and do things very differently than I used to. Thanks for coming to my TED talk!

"Here's why I don't ride motorcycles anymore...." *Proceeds to make riding a motorcycle sound freaking awesome*

When I woke up in the hospital after my motorcycle accident my father, a trauma surgeon, was there. I asked him: " Why did you let a stupid kid like me buy a motorcycle?" HIs response: "All guys want to ride a bike; and they inevitably have an accident. Your bones heal so much quicker at your age."

Nothing wrong with putting your family first and taking a break from motorcycles, I did the same. Currently retired and I keep a motorcycle at my home in the USA and store another bike in Europe. Good for you that you put some miles on the bikes you had and wore proper gear.

As a woman who began motorcycle riding in my fifties it was the best thing that happened to me in YEARS... Cruisers not racers...No passengers whatsoever don't wanna be responsible. Too dangerous. More reliable, fun and less pain than relationships in general (friendships or men-women). Less hassle, good for your ego, independance, developping skills. I understand your points but still... These machines were better that any psychologists for my mental health...

Antonio, fantastic for you to remind that ‘been there, done that’ and know to move on with the responsible decisions in different chapters in life. Good advice. As a side note, for many depending where they are from, riding a motorcycle is not a leisure activity or hobby but a necessity probably the viable mode of transport. So I always try to be courteous and careful when driving on the road, sharing with other motorists like bike. Happy Weekend.

Great videos, thanks for posting

That’s a real man. Putting something that you love away for the benefit of your family. Good on you sir.

Saw someone die in a motorcycle wreck when I was 17 years old. No way I would ever ride one with how bad drivers are.

Good advice!

Wow. Such a great story. Thank you for sharing this.

I think it's admirable to make such a decision, I wish I would've had a father as responsible as you, congrats! Not many people do it

This is your best video hands down... And i love that you were smart enough to document that whole trip

I own my dream bike. 2022 Triumph Bonneville T100. I take it for a spin on my lunch break whenever weather permits and it's great for my mental health. I rode dirt bikes as a teen but didn't get back in the motorcycle until my '50s and I think that was wise I am a very cautious rider, I do continual training, and I never ride outside of skill level. Totally respect your reasons for not biking. I understand why you want to get back into it too. Best of luck.

Hello from Nova Scotia! Nice to hear you mention us. And FYI, The CAT is still running between Yarmouth and Bar Harbor.

That 4 corner trip sounds awesome! I recently went from Ventura CA to Jacksonville FL. Not on motorcycle, but car. There’s just so much freedom that comes with a solo trip on the road!

Very interesting vid!

Respect, man!

Appreciate your content where you just talk about life.

Thank you for this wonderful and entertaining insight into a fascinating part of your life.

Great story!

great timing i have been thinking about bikes this past week

Congratulations on the new baby!

I got into bikes after my son was born, we've been riding since he was 3 now he's 11. My thoughts on it have evolved, but it started out with " I'll just ride on the dirt " to " I'll just stay off the main roads " to "Hey babe, I just bought a R3 for our boy to have when he gets his license so he doesn't go out and buy something too powerful" I love riding and I love my family. There is a risk in everything, but I completely understand where you are coming from... This is why I have not taken my discovery flight, yet.

Yup. I quit riding for the exact same reason. Especially when my 3 year old daughter told me she didn’t want me to ride anymore because it was dangerous. That made me quit pretty fast.

Great video. A good life is all about choices. I rode flat track in the early 60’s on a Matchless G-50. Only about 160 were ever made and strictly for racing. 500cc overhead cam single. Top speed in a road race configuration without a fairing was 135 mph. Would love to have one now.

You hit my town of Victoria, glad you enjoyed it. I love NS as well.

Excellent video. Thanks for the memories. I was stationed on Pendleton with base MPs 85-87 and formed my love of motorcycles in southern CA. Where I road PCH and Ortega highway and thought I would ride them forever. Well that was over 30 years ago and I havnt been back since. I just got back into motorcycles in 2021 after 12 years of not riding. I've fallen in love with them again. Im retired now and moved to SC from NY. Just came back from a 4 day wknd with friends on our bikes. We hit the tail of the dragon, Cherohala skyway and lots of great roads in the TN, GA, NC area. I love listening to people who have done trips that have gone all over the country. I find it fascinating. Thanks again for the awesome memories. 👌

Congratulations on the new baby.

At the beginning of the video I was ready to call you out for having too big a bike for a beginner, riding without helmet / gear etc. But, yeah, I get what you're saying. It's a delicate balance and the risk of injury or death is always there. I've been riding for almost 10 years now and I believe that the most dangerous thing that any rider can do is ride around with the idea that it can never happen to them. It can happen to anyone, regardless of age, km / miles or years of experience. It's just something to have in mind and keep you sharp.

Cool vid!

My uncle did the same things, but his wife encouraged him to get ride of it. I like motorcycles as well, hope to get a electric one in the future. Not much for long distance travel just short trips. One of my high school friends died on a bike, hit a big rig. People have to be careful. I took a safety course as well. Got to be safe. Take care, glad you’re looking out for your family and God bless you all!

I started riding motorcycles at age 4. We lived on an acerage and I spent my childhood riding trail bikes. Mid to late 20's I moved to street cruisers. Then my wonderful kids showed up and bikes went away. Now they're heading into high school and I'm looking at getting back into it. My dream bike is a Triumph Scrambler XE.

Awesome story

Makes sense!

Great breakdown of the cycle many riders go through, has been very similar for me as well. In fact, I had a very similar bike! The Yamaha 920, a really fun bike! I stopped riding about when I bought my first Jeep, partly because I was getting a lot of the same enjoyment out of my Jeep as I did the bike, but mainly because I was the breadwinner and I had that new responsibility. So yeah, definitely recommend Jeeps!

Once again thank you as always Antonio. Great content, I'm glad to see you touched base on this subject again. I'm still riding (no kids though) and currently have a cbr650f sports touring bike. Though if I had to choose a dream bike. It'd hands down be the 2008 Yamaha R6. That hornet nose, is very appealing to me. Maybe after I pay off my current bike, and motorcycle prices come down I'll look at getting that R6. Hopefully when the time comes, you do get back into riding a little.

What a life you’ve lived my man. Beautiful and we’re lucky to still have you. A lot could have happened and fortunately it didn’t.

I love the way you tell your stories

2001 Honda CBR 600 Rossi race replica. Indian Dark Horse and now I ride an Indian Scout Bobber. I love all these bikes and all for different reasons. The Bobber is just so nimble and fun and can always find something to modify on it!

My dream bike is a Honda Fury, but I’ve also always wanted one of those classic 70s Honda CB 750 Four. Also thinking about getting a SYM, as my my mother’s great uncle was actually their founder, though parts might be harder to come by over here in the states. I regularly go to Taiwan but I wouldn’t dare ride over there.

Much Appreciated your decision. I have inclination for road bike(bicycle) that i often ride on highways. The thrill of human powered speed.. just total freedom when you hit 40-50kmph. I ride very cautiously.. but still risky sometimes on a bad day. I understand your view point

Yuuuup...that's what got me out of bikes too, My son. I looked at him, thought about how much I loved and adored him and the choice was clear. I wasn't about to miss out on him just to stay on 2 wheels. Gave my bike away and never looked back once. He's 17 now and I couldn't be prouder of him and happier that I've had these years together.

Congratulations on your new baby I got my dream bike back when I came back from Nam 1978 shovel and still have it in 2022

So I bought on of my all time biles in July. It’s an Aprilia Tuono V4. Love it. I’ve had many bikes of all classes. I’m 59, single and without kids. We all reach room temperature; however, riding a bike certainly has greater preponderance of assuming room temp sooner. Shiny side up!

I wish I had started earlier. Wasted my life getting married instead of enjoying life. Glad I fixed it in time to enjoy the years I have left.

I am 55 and have a 2006 Yamaha R1 SP. love it!

I totally get this.

I sitting here debating on getting another motorcycle, had a R1, but was about to go and get my first gxsr 1000 (all pink) my dream bike. BUT I also had just walked away from a car accident a month ago, a guy ran the red light and hit. I'm a single mother of 3 (17, 12 and 2) and I keep going back and forth with buying the bike now. I really want it but the thought of being hit again scares me.

Practically live on mine. Love a torquey naked bike but want to add a bagger to the mix. Preferably an moto guzzi mgx-21. One to chill and one to thrill.

I almost had an accident on the motorcycle I had. It was a Yamaha 650 VStar. It had been modified slightly to be a bobber: no rear fender, spring pan seat and 16” ape hangers. I had just replaced my handle bar riser bushings. When I took it for a test ride, I got 15 miles from the house and started to pull out from a stop light and my handlebar clamps slipped and my bars laid flat on my tank! I didn’t have any tools so I rode home by physically holding my bars up as I rode. That didn’t scare me off of it, but I needed money to pay bills, so it had to go😢

You have my respect Mr. Antonio.

Sold my motorcycle when my first child was born, kids are grown now I have 8 !

I’m 24 and I’ve had a handful of bikes. Growing up I had the chance to see the Harley Davison vrod debut when I around 4-5. I saw it in a magazine as a child and fell in love. About a year ago I had the chance to buy one that looked just like the one in the magazine. All I have to say is set your goals and execute. You will succeed.

Antonio, my choice is a KTM 790 Adventure S. Fits fine for a 5.7ft man or bigger. Has an oomph and confort, a rugged modern look and the safety features that saved my life numerous times. Plus, I did not encounter any major technical problem with it.

I live in Nova Scotia. The CAT is running again this summer between Bar Harbour and Yarmouth

I don't ride motorcycles, but I love the Triumph Daytona 675R ABS, Triumph 765 Moto2, Triumph Rocket 3, the Ducati X-Diavel, and the Ducati Panigale.

Never owned a bike, rode a few of my Corps buddies out west. I just didn't get into it but will always take a glance as they drive by.

I have a pic of that same lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove near Halifax. It’s a beautiful place

I respect your smart decision. I did the same.

I've been riding since I was 14 and loved every minute of it. Never owed a car, as for the bike I want most, got to be the indian chief. Last but not least, Congratulations on the new addition to the family.

I had a friend of mine that said that every time you see a motorcycle for sale in someones' yard it screams " New Dad " .

It was a cool evening on Friday, April 19, 1985. I was riding my Kawasaki KZ400 (I was poor) in the second lane from the right on the outer loop of the Washington, DC Beltway (I-95), in Alexandria, VA. The interchange of the Beltway with Telegraph Road is unusual in that the Beltway goes up a slight rise to pass over Telegraph Road. I’m tooling along and suddenly there was a wall of metal in the form of a dark brown 1970s vintage land yacht directly in front of me and CRASH!!, with a fraction of a second of braking I drove right into that fucker going about 60 mph. There were no lights on this car and no flares. I don’t blame the owner; It had gone total system failure on the 65 yo man driving and he lacked the strength to horse it to the side of the road. My faithful Kawasaki used that half second of braking to turn itself into a lever, one placed against the fulcrum of the car’s rear bumper, throwing me on a trajectory that mostly cleared the car. My right hand hit the car rear window, breaking two bones in my hand. That impact caused me right shoulder to clip the roof, causing me to cartwheel until I landed in the roadway some 75 feet in front of the car. I lay there a moment, then dazed and not comprehending what just happen sat up slowly saying to myself “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT CAR DOING THERE?” I still chuckle at that. EMS arrived in about 15 minutes. I was about two miles away from Alexandria Station Five, and that is a long response time). Low and behold, the paramedic who arrived proctored my EMT certification test one week earlier, and he recognized me. As I lay there, I slowly understood what had happened, but I wasn’t in extreme pain and all my limbs worked. At the scene, my only visible injury was a bad laceration on my left palm from putting it through the windscreen. I was injured more, as it turned out, with broken ligaments in my left thumb, torn right rotator cuff, separated left shoulder, a broken tailbone, and compression damage to my spine from my motorcycle acting like an ejection seat. I walked out of the hospital that evening. It wasn’t until the following week we discovered I had reinjured my shoulders (both were messed up in my first motorcycle accident in 1982), tore my left thumb free, and broke my right hand. It was in 1999 when I discovered how badly I damaged my spine. The damage to my Kawasaki was impressive. The impact broke literally everything from the front of the bike to the rear tail light. Engine block cracked, gas tank and battery ruptured, front wheel and forks looking like a pile of spaghetti, the frame distorted, rear wheel axle bent, the works. I returned to riding in 2006, when my commute reached two hours each way, with parking in DC costing $250/month. On the Pacific Coast I bought I was HOV eligible. That cut over an hour each way off my commute.

That sounds like an amazing trip! You have that enthusiasm for bikes, we can tell. Ever since I was a kid I wanted a katana 750. Right now I'm looking for a 800 cc to 1100 cc cruiser, a Suzuki M50, Shadow 1100, Vulcan 900 or something like that. If I had to pick a dream bike I'd go with a Harley 48. 🤩👌🎊🎉🍻

You know its an old photo when traffic cut straight through Times Square on Broadway wow

I am at the moment riding a triumph tiger 955i. I’d love the Ducati diavel. I’m Watching this video whilst watching the FIM Superbike world championship

My favorite bike is my current bike. A Triumph Sprint ST 1050 with luggage in black and red wheel tape. Its a beast and a blast to ride.

I had my first motorcycle in the Navy and went from Kawasaki 1100 which I traded with a friend. Then brought Honda 650. When I left California and moved back to Michigan. I'm looking back into getting back into the motorcycle and working on a new Kawasaki 400 or Can-am Spyder. Started taking my courses here in Texas.

Wow I live in Pensacola!

My dream bike is a selfmade cafe racer. I just love the oldschool look to it and the fact that it is always unique. If I had to buy one off the rack, it has to be the Triumph Thruxton!

Interesting video. My wife and I rode bikes for about 25 years. In our 50s now. Owned many bikes from Harley Roadking, GsXR 1100, Zx14, Triumph Tiger 1050, Triumph scrambler 900....... Took a trip from Pa to Nova Scotia and road the cat you showed. On another trip from PA to Key West Florida took a picture at the marker you showed. 4 crashes over about 200,000 miles didn't stop me but risking my livelihood as a truck driver, and the need to exercise finally caused the decision to sell all 4 bikes we had. Still miss it.

I use to Drag Race sport bikes, still have it & race on occasions…also have a Harley Street Glide…Not getting rid of my bikes! Theyr always there in the garage if I feel the need for speed…lol

58 and thinking/wanting to get back into motorcycles to commute to work, ride on the weekends, and do something similar to what you did when I’m 60. Daughter is 19 and my son is 32, but I still want to be there for both of them whenever they need me…and hopefully grandkids someday. This has always been my main concern, so this video really hit home. As a former dirt bike rider, my head is always on a swivel, even when driving my truck, but you just have no control over some situations, and the exposure on a bike (especially on the road) is exponentially riskier. I never want my kids to say “I miss dad and wish he was here”, if there was more I could have done to ensure I was. You definitely made the right decision. Maybe I’ll set my truck up for overlanding and tour North America in it instead of on a motorcycle like I had planned…and stick to dirt bikes if I gotta scratch that itch! Hmmm!🤔

I've been waiting for you to make a video about your motorcycles. I have 3 my 95 Honda VFR 750, 2003 CBR 954 and 98 Honda superhawk. The VFR was my first bike and is my favorite still. If you ever visit north Idaho let's ride ✌️

I LOVE my Kawi 1500 Classic (2002)! Smooth and quiet on the highway. Plenty of power for me and my girl. I might still go for that Indian Chief when I buy a new bike, but...that BMW looks pretty good.

I remember wanting a 1977 Huffy All Pro 3-speed bike when I was 10. This bike came with a really cool blue/green banana seat that looked great and was super comfortable! I never got it. I ended up getting a lesser Huffy with just one speed and pedal brakes instead of the hand brakes.

*What an awesome story Antonio. That's something a man has to do at least once in his life.* I do own a motorcycle because a car isn't an option for me. I love every aspect of it and of course I am also part of the 'accident crew'. Fortunately, I ain't cheap in spending money on good jackets and protection because those have saved my physical structure and of course they're worth their price. By following your style advise since 2015, I've been able to get motorcycling gear that looks like stylish casual wear and that is a *huge* accomplishment because more brands are doing the work for those of us who don't want to look like a moto GP/Enduro/Cruiser rider without ditching the safety aspect.

Got my first bike 5 months ago. A Kawasaki w800, 800cc. Like you I did drop it but luckily on some grass so nothing got damaged. Been riding since with no issues and grin ear to ear every time I’m on it. It feels illegal to have so much fun on a bike!

Been around motorcycles since 1978 when my dad bought his 78 low-rider( I have it now). Bought my first in 1994, a katana 600. I was hit on that in 97. Just a sprained wrist and ankle, I drove bike home. In 98 I bought a gsxr 600(still have it). I fell in 2000, low side get off, just a cut on my pinky finger. Took a break from riding, had a steady girl and my son was born in 2006. In 2010 I bought a m109r. I took my son for a ride around the park when he was 4. I told him when he turned 6 I would take him on the street. The day of his 6th birthday he reminded me. He is 16 now and he wants my old GSXR.

I been riding since very young, I currently ride a 2017 Harley Davidson Road King and love it. I ride every day in the summer. I wouldn't give it up for anything. My daughter lost her husband to a motorcycle accident but this has not impacted my passion and desire to ride. Yes it is very sad that my granddaughter lost her daddy and my daughter lost her husband but I can't let this stop me from riding. My motorcycle is where I go to cope with the PTSD. It is the only place I can escape my own head. Living in northwest Minnesota, winters are not PTSD friendly and I ride as early in the spring as possible and as late in the fall as weather permits. I can honestly say I have never had women drawn to me when on my bike, which is okay, I ride for me and my own sanity.

I find that owning a convertible car offer if not all but a very close experience to owning a motorcycle. A good sense of the freedom of the road with feeling the wind at high speeds and there certainly isn't a lack of people looking as you drive by or random girls wanting a ride. But I figure I at some point would like an old army motorcycle with a side cart.

Don’t own bike and likely never will. I have however sat on a tuned and styled (it was ALL blacked out!, straight piped, with low rider air shocks and 300 rear tire) Harley Davidson NightRod and I’m in love!

All the bikes, Antonio. I want all the bikes. The one I want the most, though: Monster 1200R. I love the way it looks and the sound the Ducatis make.

I'm glad to share that 1:30. The bikes that I dream about are the sport-tourers like Kawasaki z1000sx , the Honda blackbird, Kawasaki ninja of the mid 80s, or the Suzuki from your video's front-page.

At 73 I still ride been doing it been doing it since 1973 w/a 3 yr. break from hitting a deer on our FLHC (H.D.) that's another story, & deployments while serving in the USN, I still have all M/C's and loving it. When I meet a new rider I tell them that there may be a day that they may go down, get that in the back of your mind and enjoy the ride don't be afraid of it, if you are then DON'T get on this bike as it could kill you. I believe in God as when he punches your time clock their ain't a damm thing you can do about it so enjoy life to the fullest no matter what you do.

Haven't ridden since a serious accident when I was younger. I have many dream bikes. I watch videos like these to keep me away from them.

Those were the days!❤

I starting riding motorbikes at 5 years old, a little off road Trials bike called a Yamaha TY80, Still riding them now at 50 years old. Mt dad encouraged me into motorcycles from his own love of them and having served as a motorcycle despatch rider in the military. I have had a lot of bikes and I used to do an incredible amount of miles a year on them, on average about 50,000 miles a year for work ,play and holiday. Most loved bike ( still have it ) a BMWR 100GSPD with 300,000 miles on the clock and went around the world on it when I retired from the military and went travelling.

I took a long break from motorcycles to raise my 4 kids but when my son got his own bike I got one as well. Lead by example has brought us closer and we took the safty class together. The class was ranked by score and only 4 of the 20 students got a better score than my son. Mine was the only perfect score in the class. The two of us ride together as often as possible but even when he is alone I know he has the skills to be safe. It's been good for his sisters as well because they refuse to ride with anyone reckless. If you can't be good, be good at it.

My vote goes to the classic Kawasaki Z1 900 cc superbike. Fastest mc of its generation.

That realy was a good video! I am thinking about getting a licence too, but as you said, there are a lot of risks to take. An as an additional point I am a tall person with over 2m in height, so I have to look out for a motorcycle, that suits my height.... But on th other hand I am just 21 years old and see a lot of opportunities in riding a bike....

I'm currently riding a Suzuki TU250X. Awesome little bike. In the future I want to move up to something bigger though. I'm considering the Honda CB400SF, CBR400, or the Africa Twin.

Seeing this after the death of a young bodybuilder Ryley Palfi in a motorcycle accident really makes me think. You can't live life without taking necessary risks. But when you make choices with higher risks you also make the potential for so much more pain for loved ones and your greater influence. You can't blame someone for making a higher risk choice, but as the person making that choice you have to realize the potential impact that choice can have on your loved ones

I got my first bike about a month before everything was shut down by COVID. I got the bike before I had an endorsement so the Harley dealership paid for me to take an MSF course. I got my permit but not a full endorsement. Then COVID shut everything down and I couldn’t get a full endorsement for about 6 months. I learned to ride as an essential worker on an open interstate with almost no one on it. It felt like riding in post apocalypse Seattle. Then about six months after getting my full endorsement I was at work when an oblivious co-worker ran his Dodge Ram 1500 over my bike as he pulled out of a parking spot and didn’t see it parked in his blind spot. Luckily I wasn’t on it, I was inside working when the co-worker came in holding my turn signals wondering who’s bike he just hit. It looked like minor damage. So I zip tied it back together and kept riding it until Harley could do an inspection for the insurance company. A week later they find the entire frame was bent when it got ran over and it was a total loss. The guys insurance eventually paid out and I had made just enough payments to get a $69 check above what pay off was. It was a bit of humor I took out of getting f*cked out of summer riding plans by an oblivious co-worker. But I was glad to not have the payment any more and my wife was much happier with me going to work on four wheels not two. I miss my fresh off the showroom floor Harley Sportster 883. But I plan to get another bike but it will be another few years out. A nice dream bike would be a Harley street glide special in snake venom green.

Loved my 83 Suzuki gs 750e

Harley Davidson Dyna wide-glide 20” apes, straight pipes! I’m in my 50’s and been riding for over 30 years!

Currently own a Honda cg125 and a Kawasaki d'tracker 150 . I ride defensively on both

Hey in 17 years I’d love to see Antonio in a motovlog! Maybe a channel called Real Men Real Motorcycles 😁

Riding since the age of 5, Bike I loved 1984 Honda 750 Night Hawk, 1985 Yamaha VMax, 2006 Buell XB9SX CityX (adv) - my favorite three that I owned. Bikes that I missed owning but want 1978 Sportster Cafe 1200 XLCR, Triumph Scrambler 1200, Kawasaki Nomad 1500 Next bike on the menu - Ural Single.
