I've got a Hyosung Beaver. I will occasionally refer to it as "the Beaver". Hilarious.

I'm in Songtan, near Pyeongtaek. I ride an 02 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic... Can't wait for the spring/summer...

that's a big bike. must get a bit cumbersome in the city sometimes. nice and comfy out of the city, i bet. you put it away for the winter? like i said, i haven't seen anyone around here with anything over a 125. even that seems really rare.
i met a few korean dudes with nice bikes. they were keen to ride but, as is always the case, they never called. probably for the best... they drive around in big groups and at night it seems they're all sitting on a big flashing led.

Yeah, I guess it is a big bike. I sold my 1200 Sportster Roadster because I was too big for IT. I could maneuver the hell out of that in city traffic. Now I have a bit more of a challenge. But, it feels like I'm sitting on a magic carpet and hovering over the ground when I ride it. I ride with other people that like to ride and don't belong to any of the Biker Clubs. I have mine stored for the winter and thought I killed the batetrey because I dindt charge it for a few months but I got er' charged last weekend and am ready for the weather to get nice. I think the count-down is only at about 50 days or less.

A few of us discussed this in a podcast. I talk about the many bikes I've had. Oh, how I miss them!:

Yeah, seeing bikes that aren't used for the most utilitarian purposes is kind of rare. My sporty-looking, clean 125 gets a lot of stares even before they realize I'm a foreigner because its really rare to see somoene going around on a bike without having food/a box strapped to the back.

I'd try to set up some rides for this summer if there was a way to get people together to do so. By NOT neing able to take a MC on the expressway, that kind of killed my ambitions. If theres a beach trip again this year, I'll throw an invite to all the people in this MC thread.

Not around Incheon, but yeah, there are a few of us around. Probably enough to get a bit of a group ride going ..
