Hey guys, working at Micro Center I see a lot of customer come in with motorcycle gear, so I'm curious, who else in here rides a motorcycle? I've only been riding for 2 years and have owned a cbr300r and now own a Versys 650. What bikes do yall ride and how long have you been riding?

Nice! No motorcycle for me. The question is, how do you take home a desktop from the store home on the bike? 🤭

Either a sidecar or maybe a mini ATX in the saddlebag I'd assume.

My best friend and I actually bought pc parts, and I put the parts inside of my saddles bags and he strapped the case to the rear of his bike with multiple bungie cords.

I see! That makes sense. Not too familiar with carrying items around like that on a motorcycle.

Motorcycles look amazing and sound great.😀 Unfortunately with PC building, getting into messing around with music, and Cars as my main hobbies I barely have time to get into that as well 😪Maybe someday though!

Only pedal bikes for me, don't need a motor, but also can't get above 32mph

I completely feel that, being into motorcycles, cars, PCs and photography.

I did road cycling for a bit, and once on a downhill, I think I hit about 50mph 😅. I was scared to say the less.

It takes courage, and lots and lots of bungee cords lol.

I started riding back in '03; started with a Honda 600RR, then since my hair wasn't totally on fire i upgraded to a 954RR within a year. Was a lot younger then and quite the adrenaline junkie... still love the adrenaline rush, but just a bit more chill with it nowadays... a Honda Helix 250 gets me around town now - it's a fun little ride, i really like it. However, I'm getting the itch for something I can get on the highway with a little more power. I have been really impressed with the styling and engineering of the new Honda Rebels. I was thinking the 1100 at first, but starting to consider that the 500 would be just fine, possibly even the 300. However finding a dealer that has one in stock .. man...

They look like they would handle well; nimble and not too heavy feeling.. lookin forward to those corners like the old days with my RR, and also have the sweet cool looks of a cruiser - perfect combo :)

What do y'all think of them?

Me and one of my other guys at the Chicago location ride to work whenever we can, and we park our bikes right out front. Customers that stop in on their bikes will park next to us, and sometimes we get lucky and there's a row of like 5 bikes out there. I'll have to get a picture next time I see more parked with us.

My main bike is currently my Harley Roadster 1200 and I've owned an older Sportster 883 in the past. I've got a stock 1986 GSXR 750 that I'm slowly working on restoring, though parts are a little tricky to find. I lowkey want a Grom so I can throw knobbies on it and just mess around but the market for them is horrendous right now.
