I started on a Ninja 500... it was great and I packed a bunch of miles on it. upgraded to the Ninja 9R. Loved that bike and I grew more with it. Grew in skills and in danger.

nearly every weekend I would go out into the twistys with friends... pushing it harder and harder. Doing insane speeds thru corners marked at 25-30mph. Then to top that, I got to really like high end speeds on highways. Doing 125+ thru traffic, splittin lanes, etc. Riding home from Toledo bike night to my house in Flint... a 2hour drive in an hour or less.

I would do all the above and then get home and it would start to bother me. Those few mins of fun could cause a lifetime of headache.

Tried to go slower but it didn't work. So I knew I would have to sell the sportbike and go to something else. Looked at bunch of things and loved choppers so that's the way I went.

Later switching over to my HDs for touring and still have the nightster for around town coolness. Each switch I did I have gotten happier. I think my Ultra has been the best yet. It has taken me to such great places, meet super people, and allows me to put on lots of miles. I love it.

What are you thinking of switching to Racedoll?
