I own a Kawasaki GPZ1100. Other than that I have been car free for 12 years and car light for 25 years. In my youth I was too broke to afford a car, or not willing to budget to afford one. Now, as I am single and well employed I could drive around in a huge new SUV if I so choose. But I choose not to. Frees up a lot of income for misc purchases. Skis, fishing equipment, camera equip., books you name it. I love my bike. Never have to worry about parking is awesome. Being fit and slim is appreciated by the ladies too.
