No, not really. Sometimes the tourist areas are a little tough, mostly because some of the drivers get distracted or plain just don't know where they're going so you have to be really vigilant. The traffic doesn't help in those areas either. Driving on the beach is always interesting because...

Hopefully the FTR 1200 will be nestled beside my old Ninja. I hope to hand the Ninja down to my son, I just have to get the wife on board first. She's not optimistic about her baby boy driving a motorcycle. Riding with me is okay, but when he's the driver, she worries. I told her we can...

Those are some gorgeous views so I can see why you enjoy riding there. I've never been to a huge rally like that, it must be a lot of fun to hang with so many other riding enthusiasts at once. Lots of great looking bikes in that first and second pics. The bike in the third pic is lovely as well...

Well hey there! I'm a Floridian, so not too far away. You've got some great racing going on in Georgia. We've got a thread going about AFT racing, come join in if the sport interests you.

While I'm waiting for my FTR 1200 S bike, I've decided to go on one last group ride with Big Red (my current bike). We're going through the Ocala National Forest. Unfortunately, it can't be longer than that because we all have work and family obligations. I'm glad my riding buddies wanted to...

That's one of the many reasons I want to replace my Kawasaki Ninja with an Indian FTR 12000 S-model. Buying a bike like this, you want to go fast and push it to its limits. Nick lenatsch gives sound advice and I can't wait to work on it.

Nah, most folks thought I named it that because my last name is Redman. I can't fault anyone for that. The title/dealer papers had the colors marked but it was all abbreviated and I took "gr" for gray rather than green. It's just one of those weird things. Very weird. Hold your head up...

My bike will be with me for a while and I ride fairly often. So the way I see it, it's worth paying a few grand more to get something I'm going to love. I want to enjoy the ride. I'm just waiting for one of the dealerships near me to get them in for a test drive. Both models are supposed to...

If I buy one of the FTR 1200 bikes, and I'm certainly leaning that way, I'm going for the S model no doubt about it. I bought the most basic version of the Kawasaki Ninja years ago and it's been fine, but this time I want a bike with all the bells and whistles.

I'm looking to trade up my bike as it's an older model with plenty of mileage and wear and tear. I figure I should celebrate her while she's still with me though. My baby is an old Kawasaki Ninja that I call Big Red. The poor thing is actually green, but I'm colorblind when it comes to...
