    What is your favorite bike to ride?

    It is one thing to collect, but it sucks when you collect and later realize you don't enjoy riding the bike you bought as you do others.
    What antique bike and model, regardless of brand, do you love to ride? I have heard: Indian 101, 1930 UL, and 1930's VL.

    Thanks for your thoughts.

      I have a rusty 82 Sturgis that is a blast to ride and I do not have to worry about getting it dirty.

        I have a 81' Sturgis that is one of the best rides I've ever had.

          I recently sold my 81 and 91 Sturgis motorcycles. The 91 was fantastic to ride. The 81 only had 3200 miles on it and I didn't have it long enough to get it on the road.

                Most comfortable riding at all speeds--hardest starting--58 Panhead---Riding kids or hot chicks--48 Chief with sidecar--Easiest of starting and riding slow as said above--40 Four--Reliable starting all weather bike--OP 57 Panhead w/windshield. The rest are good riders just not specifically for one reason or another.

                        My brother (long-time Gold Wing rider) would tell you that my favorite rider is whichever one starts. He's a smartass... but sometimes he's got a point.

                          Finally got my 26BA running / riding. By far, the most fun riding that I've had in a long time.
                          Pulls hard for a small machine. Cant imagine doing 100mph on one of these........
