Good try, Len, but they still look dorky except for the vintage car.

Yes it is indeed a natural instinct. See Wonkies post. Males are natural born risk takers and teenagers?? look out! One of my son's totaled two cars as a teen. Once from losing control doing donuts and the second time from speeding on a winding road.
I have little doubt the other kid didn't speed and push the limits also. I totaled my first car a 16 years old. I did however replace the hood, both fenders, the grill ,bumper and radiator and then spray painted the whole car flat black with rattle cans and sold it for what I paid. Look at the bright side, at least he has air bags and seatbelts.

(And more and more women are touring now) Consider looking at the Kawasaki KLR 650. Affordable, great gas mileage, and lots and lots of other great things about them. I "audit" a touring forum and the KLR 650 has been getting great reviews for a long time now. I've never ridden a "dual purpose" bike, but when touring Eastern Oregon last year I'd have killed for one. I ride a street bike and was restricted to pavement. The really good scenic rides are on gravel roads (good ones). You can pack a KLR 650 with enough stuff for a 5 day ride unless you are camping. (I do motel camping). Whatever you chose, good luck, get to know the bike really well before lighting out on a trip, and PLEASE wear good protective gear. I envy you so! My days on a bike are ending sooner that later. I have some back "issues" and don't want to lay it down and do damage that might make it impossible for me to walk again. You go girl!

First car I owned was a '59 Simca, Aronde. Brought it from a clown. Wild color scheme. Little engine. Didn't go fast. You could not look cool in it either. The fronts seats folded all the way back and it made into a bed. SOLD. The French!
Life is full of compromises. |
