Say around eight miles how many other MB,s do you see? I always see at least one, most of the time two or three.

None around here so far, but I'm handing out cards to the "wow where'd you get that" ppl, so there should be some around next summer 
I have only seen 2 or 3 around here during the summer, so i usually don't see any riding around here! hopefully more come in the summer
when i'm riding, i pass one, maybe two a week. but there's 4 or 5 guys around my house i see almost everyday, but never talk to them. weird.
Are you sure they're guys Bairdco? Guys aways stop me and want to know how big my motor is and how fast I can go. I see one guy quite often, he always blows by me about 40 miles an hour.
yeah, they're guys. i usually see them when i'm getting my mail or something, never when i'm riding. none of them are wearing helmets, no plates, lights, etc.
that's a bust if you go a few blocks into Newport Beach.
all their bikes are just plain old cheap cruisers, so i never flag them down, 'cause i'm a snob.

Make friends with them then you can be working on their stuff and yours.

"Never let anyone know what you're capable of" Grandad's motto, "You'll just be working on their crap forever" "Unless theirs a buck in it for you: don't let them know what you can do." He's a Dutchman, wise words though...
Except for Duane, (dax), I never see another motorbiker. Ran into 'Streetstrip' a couple of summers ago and 'Nash Opel', who has fallen off the face of the earth, but other than that I never see anyone. It would be cool to see more but it is an odd hobby that only a few seem to be interested in around here. Why is that?

Edit: I forgot about the three I saw in the bed of a hot rod pickup at a car show this fall. Never found the owner but he had business cards people could take. He builds MBs and sells them. I left one of my cards and called his number, left a message but he never returned the call.

No one at work has seen my bikes except in pictures. Two of the floor techs are interested in what I've been doing (I use the shop at the office to fabricate) and have started researching and asking me questions. They are both in their 50's. I guess there are really only 2 camps when it comes to motorbicycles...
The WHY camp and the COOL camp.

i havent seen another one in san antonio texas at all, but i hear stories from people who have seen mine.
Same here in MN. I see one or two,once in awhilebut have not had a chance to stop them to just B.S. One day this past fall I was out in my yard doing the anual leaf clean up, and an MBer went cruising by, and I jumped on my bike to try and run him down but no luck, lost him. I would like to find other like minded people in town !
My good friend Hawaii Ed lives within 8 miles. His neighbor had awesome 460/Staton/NuVinci and twin-Honda/Staton/NV combinations for his bike. He's moving on, so that leaves two of us.
I saw a cruiser/HT on two occasions, then he sold it. A high school member named Orange Brian lived a quarter-mile from me, but I never met him.
In three years I've had four sightings.
