Anyone out there own/ride a bike? I realize they aren't useful for hauling the clubs around, but I've been looking into saving up some money, taking some AMA certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation classes, and finding myself a nice summer toy and new hobby.

I love to ride. I had a 2000 Victory V92 that was such a great bike. Alias, it was sacrificed to the Graduate School Money Gods. I can't wait to replace it though.

You will enjoy it, that is for sure!

Yeah, education payments are whats keeping me from starting ASAP. From what I've read it seems beneficial to start out on a smaller bike (250 or 500cc). Only looked at cruisers and standards really so far, couldn't ever see myself on a rocket.

Have been riding since I was 18, so that's 26 years now.
Have owned a large variety of bikes over the years & currently have 3.
96 Harley Dyna Wideglide
01 Buell X1
04 Yamaha R1

And with a stand bag with the dual shoulder straps you can easily haul your clubs. I have done it many times, the furthest I have ridden with the clubs was 25 miles & it's no problem.

raced big bikes for a few years til that got really expensive (crashing costs a lot) then soon after got into racing supermoto, less expensive...then came wife and kid....buhbye racing.

have owned:
99, 00, 01, 03, 05 Yamaha R6
03 Honda XR650R
03, 04 Honda CRF450R

and I still have the 2003 Custom I built. like a Harley but built by me...kinda like West Coast Choppers but not as expensive and much cheaper parts.

I still ride every once in a while and have yet to ever try to carry clubs.

I highly recommend the MSF course if you do get into it and maybe try to start on dirt also.

I've ridden a dirt bike a ton of times and a "mini-bike" I used to have (5 HP with lawn mower engine on motorcycle type frame...went about 40 MPH, so it was fun.) but I can't drive on the road yet being on 15 years of age. I don't think I'll ever drive one, too dangerous. Lol.

i love to ride. but... there is too much downside to riding, for me atleast. i know a couple of people who got into accidents. 2 lived, 1 died. the main reason i don't buy my own bike and ride daily, i live in california and there are so many bad drivers and driver's w/ out licnese and/or insurance. it takes 1 moron not to watch the road and your dead..... thats 1 reason good enough for me. you might be the best rider in the world, but someone hits you. you can't control that.

    • My favourite club in my bag. Have it with a hzrds 6.0 shaft (probably the more important part) and I love it
    • I just ordered a Titleist TSR 2 #4 hybrid to replace my 3 driving iron.

    • Well, I have a 2 hybrid, 4 hybrid and then play 6 iron onwards.  My best clubs are probably the 4 hybrid and the PW.  What I find is that loft is your friend in general which is why my 4 hybrid is so much better than my 2 hybrid.  Definitely disproportionately more so than the 5 or so degrees of difference in loft.  If you have hybrids, play them.  And consider loft as your friend.  Invariably you will get up to a loft where anything less will not get you more distance because of your club head speed.  Essentially the faster you swing the less lofted a club you can hit effectively.  For me it is probably a 4 hybrid and maybe a 7 iron though I could improve both with practice
    • Off to my home state of Massachusetts this morning. 9 this afternoon,  18 tomorrow,  and 18 on Saturday. Hoping for some good scores but will be just happy playing with good friends.
