  Naming my bike, 007 edition

  I'm trying to decide on a name for my bike. It's a black 2008 Suzuki GZ250. Also, I'm a huge James Bond fan. I've read 11 out of the 14 books. So naturally I'm leaning towards a Bond girl name for my bike.   ...  moreI'm trying to decide on a name for my bike. It's a black 2008 Suzuki GZ250. Also, I'm a huge James Bond fan.

But Kissy Suzuki is pretty hilarious. So what do you think is a good name? What have you named your bike?

  Who Exactly are the "Real Bikers"?

  I found this on one of my other biker sites and had to bring it here. From : Dirk Diggler Since getting back into riding, and associating with more people who also ride, I've found myself asking this question more and more...  What...  moreI found this on one of my other biker sites and had to bring it here. From : Dirk Diggler Since getting back into riding, and associating with more people who also ride, I've found myself asking this question more and more...  What exactly is the definition of the real biker?   Some will say it's anyone who has the drive and desire to ride, and loves the feeling of the open road.  Others will disagree, claiming that you have to ride for a cause, own a certain brand of bike, dress a certain way, etc. I've met both, and quite frankly, the ones who consider themselves the "real", "hardcore" bikers are most the time the biggest poseurs on the planet.   Allow me to embellish a bit...

  How's This For An Idea?

  Hi Guys,  I have an idea (no really!). What if there was a place specifically designed for motorcycle parking in places with a lot of bike tourism?

What if there was a place specifically designed for motorcycle parking in places with a lot of bike tourism? A safe place to park your bike when you came to town to stay overnight? I'm thinking BIG metal building with individual stalls for each customer along with a storage space for gear, picnic tables to meet up with other riding buddies as they arrive to meet you there, and a shuttle to your hotel/motel along with local info on day rides, best places to eat, bike friendly establishments, and other rider friendly features. I'd like to get feedback from the other members of this site. I'm in the first stages of developing this as a business plan and I can't think of a better place to get valuable feedback. I know, location, location, location. I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about this, so now maybe it's time to act. Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. So, whaddya think folks?   less
