Re: Beginners sport bike
All you should say is you wanna get a bike.....and leave it at that. Or, i want to get a bike, and want to make sure i get a machine that is within my limits.
I laugh along with him, i think its real funny how many of you guys come in here and post with the "I'm a noob, first bike" thread when there literally are SOOOO many of them. Go out, test ride a bike, and see what YOU like! Take an MSF course, you'll be on a 250 or less and decide that whatever you get after that will be MORE than enough for you, as long as its a little faster than this piece of shit!

Re: Beginners sport bike
its safer to sit at home on a couch, smoke weed, and watch cartoons
but everyone knows all the real fun is in risking your life for no apparent reason

Re: Beginners sport bike
I feel the exact same way and everyone looks at me like i'm crazy when i say it. i feel way more in control of what's happening/going to happen...aside from an idiot running into me or side swiping me

Re: Beginners sport bike
i look at it like this, i can jump off the bike if ned be to clear myself of an impending bad situation. it's alot harder to jump out of a car. factor in the fact that a bike will out manuever, out accelerate, and most importantly, out brake just about any car on the road, and it's a no brainer. not to mention the fact that i can see alot more on the bike, and i tend to be ALOT more focused on what's going on around me without the distraction of a radio, cell phone, etc.
it's not myself i worry about, it's the idiots in cages on the phone and not paying attention to what the hell they're doing. people tend to forget what kind of damage a ton of rolling metal and plastic can do when it hits something, and they're deffinatly not thinking abouty what it would do if it hit me and/or my bike.
