first bike i rode home in an epic thunder storm for about 50 miles wasnt until around 20 miles in, i realised i didnt even have my lights on

 

I rode most of my bikes home. both the cbr's tho i had to haul to the house. my current bike the f4i, is still in the garage. im almost done getting it rode ready!! not much longer!!

two times it rained on me!! that sucked!

 

Test rode mine in straight lines for a mile or 2 with no front brake lever, just to make sure it shifted smooth and tracked straight. Tires were shot, chain was past the wear limits, and bike had been laid down and neglected a good bit. I was 200 miles from home and it was about to rain. Def. trailered it home.

 

ha this explains exactly what happened the first time i took a 1000 home. downshifted and hit second to pass a truck and was like holy ****... did i just make it to 100mph in 2nd gear!!?? this is not good...

 

yeah all these bikes are crazy fast, i couldnt believe it that i was going almost 100 just by twisting my wrist just a bit.

 

'My' first bike was the '72 Suzuki TC125 that Dad had bought to change water and do other things on the farm with. So, it was already home once I was allowed (and dared!) to ride it myself. Except that dual-sport(?) Zook, I always rode dirt bikes, so it wasn't practical (nor legal) to ride them home from whatever far-off town I found/bought them in.

My F4 (first and only street bike) I trailered home, 'cause I got it in a swap for a dirt bike I hadn't ridden in years, and I had to haul the dirt bike anyway. Couldn't wait to get a street helmet and gear, though, so I put on my old dirt bike helmet and gear so I could ride it around.

I can't hardly wait for spring (it arrives somewhere around Independence Day here ) so I can ride it again.

 

I rode my first bike (2000 GSXR 600) home about 60 miles... never had ridden a bike before.

About 5 months later... rode my F4i home about 25 miles.

 

My friend came with me to look at my bike a 02 F4i the condition of the bike was great and it only had 17k which isn't bad. The only thing wrong was the throttle end was broke. No biggie, so I rode it home, it was a little over 20 miles did my best to beat the rain....

 

rode mine home(1000f) 2 hrs away by the end i was lovin the power

 

rain not so much as i only had a half helmet
