Looking to expand my horizons

[2ManyGuns]

Ok guys, I'm 5'10 320lbs, I'm considering buying a bike. The last time I rode anything I was a teenager and it was a 250cc offroad bike. I want something comfortable for long rides, it is either that or a Mercedes SLS - AMG that I'm wanting. I just haven't made up my mind. I'm single and wanting to be crazy. My current ride is a Cheverolet 2500HD diesel (2011). I'm keeping my truck no matter what! I just want something fun and face it, I want to attract some young fluff for fun! Unless someone can help me make my truck really badass. Any suggestions?

Just got this 06 Honda Sabre 1100 myself. I'm appropriately your size. Will have it today if everything works out.

What's your budget? Start with a MSF course and get your M stamp on your drivers license.

 

[2ManyGuns]

Budget, after taxes make about $17K per month. Does that help? With about $3K per month fixed expenses.

 

[matefrio]

How much do you have to spend on a motorcycle?

 

[2ManyGuns]

Doesn't really matter, I guess, 30-40K

 

[2ManyGuns]

Might be safer with the Mercedes, it has four wheels Grin!

 

[matefrio]

You may want two bikes. One for around town and the other for cross country.

Harley Road Glide

And something like a Iron 833 for zipping around.

Matefrio, I'm only 120 yds from my office, I don't have far to go!

According to my single friend girls love the buzz of a Harley.

Because that sound means $$$.

 

[2ManyGuns]

Never heard a Harley "buzz".

Never heard a Harley "buzz".

Matefrio means they like that special feeling they get while running in third gear up a hill. Lol. And its not just a Harley phenomena.

 

[matefrio]

Owning and running a Harly also puts someone into a family of riders.

Lemme' get this straight. You're makin' over 200 grand a year (after taxes), you're single and you're asking for suggestions about buying motorcycles on a gun forum? No offense intended, just seems a little strange.

Seems normal enough to me.
He's a resident gun nut an posted in the auto section.

To the OP:
What kind of fluff are you looking to attract? I'd think only high maintenance fluff would be drawn to the AMG while the scooter could possibly attract both high and low maintenance fluff.

With your disposable income, just get a high quality mail order.

Who cares what anyone makes here or their marriage status? I know if I have a question I'd rather ask it here where I have a sense of who the people are I'm asking than looking to strangers elsewhere.

Get an Audi!

 

[2ManyGuns]

No offense Charlie, I have no REAL experience with motorcycles. In my line of work, in providing an EXPERT service to clients, I have learned to listen to others with experience. I just want some advice from people who actually RIDE, for fun, and for an everyday use, they are providing their expertise, to me.

Just messin' with ya'!
