aaawww, Thanks Bro!!! ya'll can blame me for gettin D over here, there goes the 'hood.

I guess they missed the toung-in-cheek of my little post earlier.

 

lol, balls to the wall on a chopper ain't really that fast man...

i know what you meant though. i miss the sportbike world sometimes, but if i bought another one, i'd end up in jail quick. it's just too easy to get into trouble. now, if i could afford track time, that'd be a different story....

 

Ever hear the statement "...those who wrecked and those who will wreck?" It's a statement of the obvious and everyone who gets a new bike should be told this over and over again. Crashing is good you either learn your lesson quick and overcome your fears or wig out and sell your bike. I make it a point to crash at least once every 3 or 4 months.

 

wait...you arent serious are you? You are saying you seriously just go out and wreck just to prove...what? That you CAN wreck? Thats just stupid. Im going to just be safe, and yes, i have heard the rule "there are those who have been down, and then there are those who are going down." but im sure that people have made exceptions to that rule. Im sure its not many, but im sure someone has scathed away from not crashing/dropping a bike in their riding life.

 

you can do MSF classes around here, you dont have to go to daytona or whatever.... i started on this bike (my r6) and i got the same talk as you are getting so dont take it the wrong way, take the advice and keep it in your head because you never know what will happen.. you can be the best rider in the world but everyone else isnt the best rider/driver so watch out for the others, they're out to get you.

i havent been down (yet) on my r6, just respect the bike and have fun.

 

Yes I'm serious.

Its not stupid. I do it in a controlled environment and it teaches me how hard i can push the bike before it crashes and exactly what to do WHEN it crashes. I'll ride like this any day over riding around scared worried i might wreck and freak out. When your scared you crash.

 

what he said take the class...

 

Dude, I really don't like my name and the word closet in the same sentance. Please refrain in the future...thanx!!

 

You obviously haven't seen how he rides...he's a stunt rider, his bike is designed to take a few crashes, and he is always taking it to the limit.

Anyway, my two cents finally. Lots of good info here, most of these guys aren't flaming you, it's their way of issuing advice. My advice is since you already have the bike, be careful. You old go as fast as you twist the throttle, so learn to respect it. And yes, take a MSF course...usually around $75 in this area...track days are conciderably more expensive. Here is a link you can check out. There is also a section where you can look up for a local rider course in your area.

And good luck. Two types of riders out there, those who have crashed, and those who will. If you remember to keep the rubber bits on the bottom, you shouldn't have too much trouble!

 

Cool, thanks for the link.
