Less bikes on the road
« on: April 03, 2026, 05:51:16 PM »
I have noticed a significant reduction of motorcycles on the road
I would estimate a 70-75 percent reduction of motorcycles on the road than 5-10 years ago .
I live in Phoenix where you can ride all year round .
We'we just coming off of cool weather and headed into hot weather in a few weeks .
I've also noticed a significant reduction of motorcycles at work .
 Anyone notice this as well??
'81 R65
'82 R65 LS
'84 R65 LS
'87 Moto Guzzi V65 Lario
'02 R1150R
Riding all year long since 1993 .
I'll give up my R65, when they pry my cold dead hands from the handlebars !!!!!

Yeah, not nearly as many.  I will admit to not having ridden in over a year.  Gettin' old, wonky left knee, fixed income and too many $$ to keep everything insured and tagged, etc... :-(  Have not ridden the R1100 in probably 4 years...  Oh, it's for sale!
