sum might say it cant happen.. they just cant ride... bottom line..

iv been(weight 150lbs) 11.8 in 1/4 mile on a old ass f2(92 cbr600 f2 only mods was the slip on yosh exhaust) with no farings, sliping clutch and bold tire... vic(prostar rider weightin 120lbs) went 11.03 1/4mile
i do not plan on racing the bike at all..... i want to learn the basics, etc... regular roads, highway speeds, cruising speeds.... i doubt the bike see's above 100mph EVER.

that bike wont go 190(the faster u go the speedo is off by a %)... but it gos fast eought.... u can wreck at 15-20 and die... im not trying to steer u away.. . i just tired of seein rider down threads(on another fourm.. tamparacing).... riding is fun as shit... i love it... ill never stop no matter what anyone says/does..


like my dad told me when i first started.. "im not worryed about u, im worryed about everyone else".. i always think about that when im out riding.. i see everything around me..u gotta have a quick mind to ride.. never ever freak out.. u probly know this.. if not then really take it in. it will save ur life...

iv done sum dumbass shit but iv never wreck or hit anything. i have 12ed once and had a stopie washed out.. but again that was stunting it happens

my dad told me the same thing because he used to ride before he got married and i had a long talk with him about it.

and i by no means think im invincible. i just want to get into riding for fun.

i want to do it safely as possible. i am taking all the necessary safety precautioins, taking classes, etc...

Caleb didn't you just tell me you wanted me to teach you how to ride wheelies?


Jk, I'll be out there with you. Hopefully I'll be able to get mine out there. If not, I'll wreck yours.

thats kinda retarded.... u get a 3 year brake on ur insure for each class(might be more or less with different comp.s).... but it only works once(i think) u should wait alittle longer...

2 months?.. hahah thats isnt very much time.. takes more than 2 months to learn how to ride well
