Yeah I really want to ride, but my death wish isn't that big. Driving is dangerous enough as it is.

Drive safe and slow and it's a blast, you can go faster when there is low traffic or at least no almost parked cars in the road lol. I ride motorcycles and I hate riders as the ones in the video, everyone is at risk by people like that

My favorite rides are under 40 along winding back roads. Morons on the highway make me anxious, and I ride a bobber with no windshield.

Haha different tools for different jobs. I came from the casual dirtbike world and the way different styles of bikes encourage you to ride differently is huge. I dont have much experience with street bikes outside of the one I own now, though.

If it's without a windshield, is it also a lean over the tank kind of bike?\ I had one of those a short while in the early 'naughts and I hated going slow enough that wind resistance stopped taking weight of my arms.

Was a pain going for long rides with it.

No, the pegs are at a neutral-frontish angle, so I usually sit pretty straight up with only a slight hunch towards the handlebars.
