Well.. I just finished my motorcycle class... and... I PASSED!!!!!!!!!:smiliedance::smiliedance::smilieda nce: So... now I just have to find me a bike! Woo Hoo!!!


Congrats!!!

Now my advice is to rent a few...

When I sold my harley at a killer loss I figured if I really wanted to ride again I could always drive to a dealer and rent whatever I wanted...

Even if it s 150$ a aday it still beats owning your own financially wise...

They just dont get the use vs cost of ownership over time in my opinion...

I think I would get one of those on and offroad if I got another...

I would nt mind plowing through a few cornfields or private property in the country and have some old coot shaking his fist at me as I raise a cloud of dust racing across the property...

:scratch: :shh:

but good luck on the adventure dont by a Harley...

My father-in-law is selling a 2001 Harley Sportster 1200XL Custom with only 2500 miles for $6500.00. It has a fatbob tank,samson pipes and lots of extras. It's bigger than what you're looking for but figured I'd let you know anyway. It does sit pretty low though..

Congrads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I grew up on motorcycles and have ridden dirt and street for a long time. I just got my son his first dirt bike and he won't get off the damn thing. I am partial to the sport bikes and have a Ducati 999R and it screams (I dont recommend it for you). Don't know what you are looking for exactly (besides sitting low) but all the major bike makers have some nice bikes in the 650-850 range that are fun to ride and easy to whip around. If you need info let me know.

I definitely DON'T want a crotch rocket!!! Have no need for speed. I am thinking as of right now... (next spring may be a different matter)... something along the style of an intruder or shadow... I tested on a 250 rebel... but for the riding I want to do.. I think that is just too small... 650 - 850 sounds like a good range for me... don't know too much more about all this stuff... but I am doing a bunch of looking & reading now.

Why did you get your cycle license? Was it to save on gas or just wanted to ride on two wheels legally? Here's a couple bikes to keep your eye on.

I got my license, because I have always wanted to ride... ex showed me how to ride a dirt bike... (very, very bad, bad teacher!!! wrecked twice)... anyway... girlfriend got her license & bike last year.. hubby travels so much that if I was to just ride with him... I wouldn't get to ride much... I needed a hobby besides work!

:jumpinsmile:

No side cars!!! I probably won't even have any passengers!

[USIC1]

Learn to play music too...

I love it...I just got a brand new Bach Stradavarious professional trumpet a month ago its like night and day compared to the intermediate horn I traded in...

I have 3 giant fake books (1000 songs each)...A book of patriotic songs...A book of Christmas songs...

Now the neighbors in my apartments well lets not go there...

Its hard to describe the satisfaction of playing some music...

Gypsy, if you do decide on the side car, don't forget the german nazi helmet to go with it, in honor of Steve!:drinks:

[yahoo]

hahahhahahahah that was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah gypsy that would be very honorable for steve!!!!!!!!!!we want a picture too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lady that was a great idea.....

[sprayandpray]

I thought Steve was the type like the little old white haired man on Laugh-In that looked like the mad German Scientist and was always riding a tricycle! :tease:Just kidding you Steve, besides I bet most on here don't even know who I am talking about.

[LadyLeatherneck]

I was thinking more like Barny Fife in the side car left behind. Just kiddin' you Steve!

[yahoo]

I've always wanted a streetbike, but never pursued my interest.

Back when I was younger (15-17) I raced motocross. I wasn't that good, but I always showed up for the races. I would always get the holeshot, because I was always the heaviest guy and just bullied my way through the hole, but it was handling turns that I fell short at. Normally I came in last, 2nd to last, or 3rd to last. In short, I sucked. I could get some decent air for a guy my size. I had no problem clearing triple jumps and etc, like I said, it was the turns where the little guys would just burn me. Then there's the one ****er who just burns everybody and has been racing since age 6 and makes it look effortless. ;)

MX is no joke, you have to keep the bike maintained or you will suffer the consequences of guys who keep their bikes maintained. And I have no idea how to change piston rings.
