Hello from Lowell, NC!
I picked up a CSC Motorcycle, SG250 for my son a couple of months ago. I've been riding since I was 16 and I am now handing down the legacy of riding. My Dad rode and raced, so this is three generations of riders.
My current ride is a '19 Indian Chief Vintage. I don't care what you ride as long as you ride -  ! I've owned Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki up until the Indian and the SG250. I started street riding a 1962 Yamaha YDS2 (250cc, two-stroke) by in 1979. It's been fun teaching him the nuances of basic mechanics and basic street riding. As you all know, this is a hands on experience of maintenance and repairs. We are having fun learning along the way. Last edited by Ratboy859; 11-20-2022 at 10:56 AM. |

Here is a reflection for Thanksgiving Day (being thankful/grateful): There is always talk motorcycling is dying. I refute such a statement because of what I have learned in the past few months. The sport is not dying. It has evolved, but those with tunnel vision cannot see the evolution. Large name brands continue struggle to bring new buyers into the market. However, because of what I have learned, there are new buyers currently in the market. These buyers, riders, self-wrenchers (yep, DIY types), and small shops that build are the motorcycling of today and tomorrow. I am grateful that men and women of all ages are still wrenching on their bike. The are still sharing stories of lessons learned and helping each other out. I am grateful that there is a price-point culture of motorcycling that is gathering new riders/wrenchers every day. I am grateful for the curious that want to straddle a bike and live life. I am grateful for the smaller brands that have garnered a following. I am grateful for that following that wants to ride. I am grateful that the motorcycling has evolved to keep itself alive. The history of motorcycling is filled with evolution. From high priced toys to cheap WWII surplus; from board track racing to Doing the Ton, from rat-bikes to show bikes - motorcycling is alive and well. I am grateful that there will be a tomorrow for motorcycling! Terry Dransfield |
