Don't get hit by a car and die a bloody and painful death.

Yeah man be careful about other drivers. A friends brother who was on varsity when I was a freshman had a bike. Some bitch texting hit him and the skin running from the back of his shoulder running down his tri to his elbow was ripped off, like visible muscle ripped off, dudes arm still looks fucked 7 years or so later

Being careful is number one. I already ride a bicycle in the city, and I bet riding a motorcycle is less dangerous (in the city).

Yeah and always wear good protection, even though it sucks when its hot.

A helmet is mandatory where I live but sometimes you see people in shorts and tshirts :eek:

Why dont you post a picture of that nice jacket you got?

You can get a track only motorcycle real cheap. That's where someone either bought a motorcycle with a salvage title and replaced or fixed the broken parts, or it's stolen. Either way, it's impossible to ride them on the street legally (can't get insurance on a salvage title) so they come with a low price tag. A $5,000 motorcycle will sell for $1,000. I'm considering getting one of those. It'd be fun to take out to the track every weekend. You can check the VIN before purchase here.

Thanks! I love it. I spent almost 3x what my original budget was on gear, but you can't put a price on your safety. And you gotta look like a badass :lol:

Yeah I agree completely!

Did you get some boots too?

I was looking at a couple of casual models myself, but havent decided yet.

I haven't picked up any boots yet. I have ridiculously wide feet, and the place I picked up my gear didn't have anything that fit me. I'm going to wear work boots for the course, and I'll look into getting some a little later.

Ha I have the same problem! Probably because I walk barefoot or an flipflops all the time, my toes are all like nicely spread out.

I kinda liked the look of these shoes:

I literally can't buy shoes that aren't made in different widths. If they come in one width, it won't fit me. I'm a 12 2-3E depending on the shoe, it really sucks.

We dont really have the width system here. At least I have never seen it. I find that the more padded type skateshoes ususally fit pretty well.

IME different widths are mostly found in higher end (~$200+) shoes. For running shoes I go with New Balance because they make all of their shoes up to a 4E.

I checked out a couple bikes this week - I think I found the one I'm going to pick up.

What do you guys think? We settled on $2750. I test drove it and checked it out thoroughly. EVerything is in pristine condition, and it has a brand new clutch. It's been dropped maybe once, and not by the current owner - I could only find one small scuff.

So excited!

If you like it, do it. If you've checked it over and it seems fine then that is a great price.

That looks like a really nice first bike! Not too extreme for a beginner.

Still goes like the lightning I am sure though...

I'm going to pick it up and get it inspected tomorrow. Just firmed everything up with the seller.
