With all this recent talk on here about excuses why people don't ride much, or that the bike is just motorcycle or a toy, got me thinking. I don't think of my bike (or the other ones I've owned in the past) as a toy. Besides, wouldn't that insinuate then that the owner's a child?
I think he shed a tear........lol....Yep mines a TOY!!!

Evidently you've never heard the saying "The only difference between men and boys is the price of there toys ". Children play with Barbie dolls, lincoln logs and GI Joe's and adults play with whatever is fun to them. My wife always complains that my toys are so expensive LOL..

Motor cycles, boats, sports cars and other luxury items are big boy toys. Not toys in the sense of something for a child but toys in that they are not essential items for one to have. Therefore toys to those adults that can afford them.

These toys belong in man caves.

It is not a negative term. I like toys.

I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up. A man's just got to have toys. Or are you saying to grow up and never play?

Considering I put 25,000 a yr on mine as my sole transpo, mine isn't a toy either, but for many it is. Either way I love to play with mine.
