Have your license?

I'm taking the class now and it's so much fun.

The Japanese bikes are great (R6, GXR, etc.) but their torque distribution could be better. Don't start on something fast or expensive because you'll
1. Kill yourself
2. Cry when you go down and have to spend lots of money on plastic

They're a lot cheaper and simpler than cars. Your research should pretty much be trying friends' bikes.

Aye, they're called donorcycles for a reason. I prolly won't ride much til I get out of SoCal.

But they're so... damn... fun.

Not to say that I'd trade four wheels for anything!

I had a bike at the end of last year to the beginning of this year (for about 3 months).
I had a CBR 250 RR.
I was on my learner so I was limited to what I could ride.
I love riding it. But my parent didnt like it. So I had to sell it frown.gif
When I had my bike I actually rode more than I drove.

Yea I've to admit that bikes are more dangerous than cars, we hear about accident all the time.
All I can say is if you ride, go all out on safety equipments (helmet, gloves, bike jacket, bike pant, shoe, back support etc) and dont trust anyone else on the road beside yourself.

Have fun I know you'll.

So now that you ride you can add to your quiver of quotes, which should thus far include:

"Dude, I almost had you."
"You almost had your car." (F&F)

and

"I got something for your ass!" (2F2F)

The quote:

"What is it about driving cars that makes you all such a__holes?" (Torque)

There is virtually no difference between the Hondas, Yamahas, Suzukis, and Kawasakis.
