Rode over 40,000 miles between a pair of Yamaha 650 Maxims with shaft drive. I always rode with the assumption that other drivers did not see me though and that I was the only person responsible for my safety on the road.
Never failed to enjoy being on them until I moved into the DFW area and had to cope with obscene traffic levels and "blind" drivers oblivious to bikers on the road. My insurance policy went from $360 a year to almost $900 a year moving from Norman, OK to DFW. Another indication of the perils of the metrolplex.
