What is the most comfortable Touring Motorcycle you have owned?

Monday, June 29th, 2009
motorcycle
asked:


Only answer if you ride long distances. Going back and forth to the dealer on saturday doesn’t count. This is for the real motorcycle people, those who ride more than 10,000 a year.

I’ve road a number of bikes and for me it is a toss up between Harley Davidson Ultra Classic, Honda Goldwing, and a Kawasaki Nomad.

rosato asked:


I don’t want to spend too much money, but I would also like to be able to depend on the bike and gear I buy for a while without having to immediately upgrade to something better. If you can help me out with some good suggestions it would be much appreciated.

Im looking to buy a motorcycle and some ads specify that the bike is street legal. Does that mean that not all bikes are street legal? If so how can you tell, does it vary in different states?

The Saint asked:


I am interested in undertaking this research, but I’m curious if this conversion has already been done. Are there any site specifically on the motorcycle conversion? If not, are there any sites on the standard car motor conversion? Really, anything helps.

Also, would the 250cc bikes be a lot more susceptible to cross-winds and other conditions, or would they be roughly the same?

Have you ever tried riding a motorcycle during winter? How bad is it? Can I do it? For 800 miles straight?

arunictrichloride asked:


I am planning to ride a motorcycle from DC to Florida in early January. I live in Florida and I am going to DC in December, and I will buy a motorcycle there. I want to ride it all the way back on January 10. I assume it is going to be freezing cold. Has any of you tried this? Is it feasible? I just don’t want to pay hundreds of dollars for shipping the motorcycle.

Please help.
Thank you.
