+1 on the naked bikes being sexy girl.. As soon as I saw that gladius my whole mind changed. This sux usually I know exactly what I want and can choose. This is whole other thing. It's like an epic quest. lol. I did read everything before I started posting(didn't wanna sound like an idiot) I just don't what I can really handle at this point and I think that the MSF course will help a lot in lettin me know that or at least I hope so. Thanx for the invite for sho and the luck...

Definitely take the MSF. I am sure it has changed a bit since I took it back in 96 when I was first riding, and you learn a lot then.

Yeah it is a hard thing. You dont want to waste your money on something you will not like. I usually recommend for someone to start out with a small beater, get some seat time and then get someting better. By that point you'll know what you like. But that doesn't work for everyone.

I looked at the Gladius about a week ago online and yeah its Perty lol

Hey, got my newest bike (08 R6) shipped here from home May of 08. I ride as much as the next enthusiast and while there is no shortage of bikes on the road. I haven't found many bike hangouts which I was sure there would be a lot of around here. So my question is... does anyone know of any usual bike hangouts? Thanks.

i dont know about your area, maybe the bass pro shop over there or Hampton university.

on the south side there is the BP at the beach or the 7-11 by Norfolk State

either do the search here or someone else more familiar can chime in with more info

There's a spot in Yorktown somewhere, and the Mcdonalds in Hampton is where most riders stop through. The clubs usually meetup at a bar off King st. for throttle thursdays but I'm not a bike club groupie so I never go.
