The best way to put it is, it's perfect for me I can throw it around, it's comfortable, and it's unique in style.

You aren't too far off Wub Dubster, its a Honda CTX 700CC its a hybrid between a sport bike and cruiser, sits up like a sport bike and can be thrown around like one but the seating position is cruiser style with forward controls. Also has single disc brakes in the front. The back end reminds me of a scooter a little though.

Congrats on the new bike and I am glad to see you on a bike again. No rider can truly quit riding

Thanks, i got it from Fay Meyers, Wes is a pretty good guy, i didn't have to haggle him too hard.

Interesting bike. Please tell me you did not get the DCT trans!

Did you get DTC/ABS?

I did a bit of reading on it. Fairly inexpensive, and holy crap the fuel economy shocked me. Cycleworld got 62mpg thrashing it.

Ok, so I have to ask because it is something I have been going through. If I remember correctly you stopped street riding because you had a close call and you felt no matter how good a rider you were that riding was still a risk and not something you wanted to risk for your daughter and wife. I gave up street riding a while back for the same reason, had a close call and really made me think if the sport I loved was worth the risk I took everytime I got on that bike after all I have seen over the years. For me, after many years (15+ on sportbike street riding) I had to admit that I felt the risk was not worth it anymore because there are a lot of people that care about me and I’d hate to see them go through what I have seen so many sportbike rider's families go through. So I’ve also thought about getting a different bike not as aggressive as a sportbike, but it always leads me back to the same point of where I never gave up street riding because of my skills, but because of the thousands of cars out the that do not pay attention that I risk.

So what changed?


I may get flamed, but it has been something I went through so it always makes me wonder when someone decided to come back to the street riding.

P.S. Grimm I hope it doesn’t offend you and if so you don’t have to answer and can request I take the post down. Honestly it is curiosity since I think you and I went through this around the same time a couple years back.

You ask too many questions and i am offended that you would think i would be offended by your non offensive questions.

Its a matter of what makes you happy man, the decision was made with the intent to stay away but when you fall in love with something the heart wants what it wants. 2 years was enough time for me to realize that sure the things you do that make you happy can end your life, but in the end that's really all that matters, die doing what you love right otherwise whats the point? I love being able to ride, we got to a financially responsible position to pickup a bike and decided its what would make me happy. Riding is the only other hobby other than going to the gym i have and now that the kid is older and taller she can ride with me. Besides when you sit down and think about it something tragic can happen when you get in your car and go to the grocery store. These past 2 years have allowed me to decide what kind of rider i want to be if i were to get another bike and this is what lead to us picking up the CTX, comfort, enough speed and power, and still be fun in the twisties. I will say this now knowing it wont bare true but i don't THINK i will be riding as much as when i did with the other bikes but we will see....
