thank you for the welcome's. I like this forum because of the limited pc and people seem to be OK with that and nobody seems to be taking it too seriously.
I just moved from downtown Houston to the burb (sugar land). I am tempted to buy a bike but I have never ridden a bike bigger than a scooter(vespa). I am 6 foot tall (180cm) and a rather big boy with 227lbs (104 kg). The reason for wanting a bike is gas milage, use of HOV lanes or to go to and from the park and ride location. Having fun is part of it too. I always wanted a motorbike but always had a woman voting against (mom or wife) and in between I just never really got to it. What bike would you suggest I start with?
