I don't even go to the bars, so that would be probably annoying. Our local forum has hot *** girls who ride. OMG haha

 

You guys are right. Buying brand new for my first bike is ******* retarded. 7K would be a big waste of money for me. I'm sure I can use craiglist or ebay to find a cheap ninja 650r or similar... just something to practice on.

But one more noob question... how do I go about doing this if I'm not able to locate a class easily? Like... how did you guys start? Just buy a bike, practice in a parkinglot, then go take the license test so you could legaly take it on the road?

And wtf... I figured dtf chicks is all that these things wouls attract? haha

 

just get a bike, and figure it out. Take it through your neighborhood for a couple weeks, and when you feel like you're ready for the the road, then you must be ready for the road. Its not really as big of a deal as everyones making it out to be. You should be fine on a 600 as long as you're careful. Definately get one used, though, and if you arent bike savvy, then take it to your local bike shop and have them check it out to make sure its not a ******' lemon or whatever.

I think I may have attracted 1 dtf chic, finally....gave her a ride the other day, now she wants a ride at night. Shes got a kid, which is a good sign, because bitches with kids are usually looking for some P for their V to get rid of some of that stress.

 

Well there is people who buy brand new bikes and are fine.

My story: I have no experince with Motorcycles what so ever, but I'm one of hell a learner and picking up on things. It's like I know things before I even begin to try them. One day (April 2009) I decided I wanted a motorcycle, saw mine and then got it. I had to go about an hour away from home to pick it up from a dealership, waited for them to close up and rode it home (city and Highway). Then made the mistake of putting regular gas in, even though it wont hurt it that bad. I was going to go take the class, but my job at the time threaten to fire me, so I didn't. I was going to go to get my Endorsment, but I was told it's hard and I wasn't going to pass. Not to mention you have to bring another endorsed rider. After my best friend passed away in August I made it my goal to go get my endorsment and pass for him, which I did the next day I believe. I have crashed 2 times and dropped the bike 2 times. I don't have any gear, well I do now kind of, but not really. My crashes had nothing to do with the size or type of the bike what so ever.

It depends, because it's not always like that. I know someone who gets laid every night that he goes to the bar. He goes in, ask every girl if they want to **** until he finds one that's down and it works. haha

I was going to say it's not as big of a deal as EVERYONE is making it sound, but I didn't feel like the one to get bashed on for it. That's if it was going to happen. Where did you meet her, in a bar?

 

Heh. If I get bashed, oh well. Think I give two ***** about what people Ill never meet have to say? Anyone who says to start out on a 250 more than likely doesnt have experience riding, or isnt a very good rider. If they did ride, they'd know its just fine to start on a 600. You can **** yourself up just as easy on a 250.


Nah, but I might as well have.

 

I watched a youtube video to find out what the controls were. I told my friend I'd fill his tank if he let me take his lowered and stretched 2000 zx6r for a spin. When he asked if I had ridden one before I said I had I didn't have any problem at all but I didn't go crazy either. I rode it a few more times after that.


I should also mention that was his first bike and he totaled it within three months of getting it.

 

It's cool man, I think they're just throwing around ideas, now that my main question has already been answered. At first I was really dead set on the 250r, but I am a fast learner, and I'm pretty confident that a 650r will be good for me. The only thing is finding one thats priced good for me. And I am really wanting to take a class. Might get around to planning out a drive down there soon.

All you guys have been a really big help too.

 

Agreed with fishy. Take the class, i took mine and learned a lot. I mostly learned 90%of my "skills" on a dirtbike, and as long as you can get the basic clutching down you just gotta take it slow and easy.

Also idk about the 883 being boringish, its just what ive heard from a person or two. And yeah of all the cruisers i dig their styling the most.

 

Haha...Not all of us are pussies like you seem to be, I guess. Do yourself a favor and grow a pair, you ray liota faced ****. Its NOT hard to learn how to ride, but judging by how big of a deal you're making it out to be, it must of taken you...what...one? two months? Ive been on bikes before, Ive just never owned one. Nice going though, douchebag.

 

I am not looking for an argument by any means. Do you think that an EXTREME performance car would be a good first car. Would you recommend something along the lines of a 640hp Corvette ZR1 for someone that has never driven a car before? Lets keep in mind that the current 600cc supersports are faster to ~130 than the ZR1 and only have two wheels.

Some people start off with 600 and bigger bikes and never have a problem. I had two friends both almost kill themselves by starting on 600cc bikes.

 

Get the 650r, and just ride safe. Do the class first, or whatever you wanna do. They'll teach you how to ride, and its not a bad idea, but in the end if you get in a bind, your going to do whatever your instincts tell you to, and that may be what you learned, or whatever just feels right. If you arent confident that you can ride a 650, then more than likely, you cant, but if you feel like you're up to it, then go for it. Dont let some spineless *** influence your decision on what bike to get.

 

Dude you are retarded this has nothing to do with who how big you think your dick is. It has everything to do with what is a smart move.

Can he jump right in a get it? Probably, many riders have. However I can say with absolute confidence that doing that has killed more people and scrapped off more skin than taking a little bit of time to do somthing the right way.

You're trash and I hope I'm not there to see you scraped off the road.

 

Hahaha. You're mother is trash.

 

From what I have heard you say you're just a stereotype

 

Lol. I actually wear all of my gear, and I dont ride like most of the ****** I see out there. Man...if it makes you feel any better, Im sorry for snapping on your boyfriend with the pubes for facial hair.

 

 

Before you go posting pictures of a "Squid" and talking about a "Squid", learn what it actually means first.

and I don't think most deaths are because of having a bigger bike, nor the cause of crashes. I hate when people always/ONLY bring up the bad about people starting on a Super Sport bike.

 

Lol. You're being kind of a ****** with the guy, actually. He'll basically be wasting his money on a bike hes going to sell in 6 months..if not sooner, and he wants a 600 or 650 or whatever. I imagine he'll either learn how to ride the ******* thing or he'll die on it. One or the other. Man...its about time this forum livened up a little bit. Too bad we dont have the chance to do this in person, so I could watch you act like the little coward that you more than likely are. I probably wouldnt even have to kick your ***, Id feel so sorry for you, because in situations like these, offline, I bet you **** your pants.

 

Lol...that dipshit probably doesnt even ride.

 

holy ****.. what have i started? hahaha!!!

 

Your probably right. haha
But I'm just sick of people using that word when they don't even know what it means. It's ******* pathetic and very annoying. Even then, who cares if their a squid. I know people who hate that ****, but it's okay for the girls to do it? ROFL

I didn't wear gear for 2 years and I sitll don't have full/proper gear. Who gives a **** what they wear, it's their body and their choice, not yours.

 

Heh. You brought the forums back to life.

Dude, I stopped at a gas station on my way home the other night and saw some dude with his chic on a crotch rocket, and she basically wasnt even wearing and cloths. Her shorts were so short you could see the cottage cheese on her ***, and her shirt was one of those loose cut out neck things that bitches wear, and I could literally count every roll on her body. To top it all off she was wearing flip flops. Bye bye toes..hello broken ankles. If that dude would have layed that bike down that chic would've live the rest of her life looking like old dried up pizza. Oh well...she was hideous anyhow.

I wear all my **** about 90% of the time unless Im only going up the road....boots get pretty annoying to lace up after a while, and my jacket just a little too big so its gets uncomfortable from time to time.

 

Interesting reading.

Last year my work mate passed his test after some 2 week intensive course having never rode a bike in his nelly ****** puff. He completed it on his first ever bike that he bought for the course and to learn on. A 600 Suzuki Bandit. He had it less than 6 months after passing and traded it in for a 1200 Bandit. He lost a few $$ on the original but is obsessed with the bigger machine.

Theres another guy that I know thats had a 125 for the last two years. Depends on the individual.

 

Oh damn, **** got real *****. Cant believe were actually arguing this far about it.

 

Girls here so far are actually good looking, that ride. I can't wait to get proper gear that fits me. My friends gear, the jacket isn't long enough, arms are okay and the top kneck interfears with my helmet a lot. For some reason it feels like it kind of chokes me and always moves up my neck/body. The gloves are perfect, but not for the winter. haha
I like riding without gear durning the Summer and sometimes when it's warm enough durning the winter. But until I get proper gear, I have no idea. I actually use my hoodie a lot, but I don't like to because it's way to big and it just floops all over the place. haha

Exactly, this is what I'm talking about. To each their own. I want and always have wanted a Ducati 1098 and now I wouldn't mind the 1198 since they came out. But after having my 636 I want to keep it and have the other one as a second dairly. I did want the Hayabusa at first for my height and weight, but not so much now.

 

Theres two basic types of riders. Those who have gone down, and those who have yet to go down.

First bike should be used unless you are rich and money is nothing to you.

 

NO matter what your going to go down. Frame sliders should be the first thing to buy for the bike.
and I believe that EVERYONE goes down at least once durning the winter and usually doesn't go down again. haha

 

Deleted my unrelated posts. If you feel like **** talking go ahead and start a thread in the right sub-forum.

And so many people crash because the bike was too much for them to handle. I don't know if you're basing your opinion on personal experience or what. 80% or crashes I read about or hear about are either too much throttle or too much brake on a first time race ready bike. These bikes are literally made for the race track and are incredibly fun on the street. But a novice who 'trusts his instincts' will crash. Because a lot of the time on a bike our instincts are wrong. For example.. In a turn, back tire slides out, first instinct is to chop the throttle. Well that will land your *** in a highside. As you very well may know,, the correct response would be to hold throttle, steer into the turn, and ease off slowly. These correct responses need to be trained into you over time... And mistakes are just way too easy to make on a supersport. And they are so much less forgiving when you do make them.

 

+1, which is why we're all telling you (with the exception of one douche) to start on something small and something cheap. Because more than likely **** will happen, and **** can getting broke, and on a smaller/cheaper bike this will be much less of a problem.

Do as you wish, but there are reasons that so many people advocate starting on a 250. I'm an adrenaline junkie through-and-through, but I am a very strong believer in knowing what you're working with first and not just jumping onto the high horse. Karma is a bitch, and she will knock your *** out if you think that you can escape her. So I say don't push it.

 

I must assume it's different there. Because the same amount of SuperSport crashes have the same amount of sport and yes A LOT of 250's. I'm not bashing, besides the fact he's using squid for something that isn't even the meaning of it. When you have an OH **** moment your more than likely to go down. Another thing in the corner that you forgot to mention is people trying to use their front brakes. That was my first mistake on my first crash. I also believe if you go take a class, you will learn on a smaller bike and that should be enough experince to gradulate the class and get a bigger bike. But that's just in my personal opinion, it's different for everyone. Don't mind me, I'm just blabbing away. I just don't like the fact that everyone is trying to scare him with these bigger bikes and have nothing but bad things to say about it. When I think it should be more mutural, good and bad people experince.

I feel as if you crash you learn a lot from it. My first crashed changed A LOT about how I was riding and made a huge impact on me.

Edit: Don't mind me, I've been overly bored and half asleep. haha
If you are confident and wont go over your head you wont have a problem, plain and simple. I'm not telling him he needs to go getting a SuperSport, but just to go with what he feels he can handle, confident and can manage, as well as afford.
