Oops. His bike is a Sport 1000. Not a Super Sport. I dumb.

Lol no worries, no one knows the difference :P

Shoot, I get the 1990-2002 duca mixed up all the time.

I think my buddy wants to start getting into riding. He says he wants ape hangers, but that may just be the fat kid in him talking. He loves the sport classic that flint in Tron rode - so I MAY let him ride my cb750 if he asks nicely ...

How do you guys go about teaching people to ride? I did the Whole "chase behind the 250 in the driveway" deal and it worked for the most part - but I'm thinking maybe actually have a mock theory class first would be more beneficial.

That is sick. Nitpicking here, but I wish s/he would have carried it over to the rear fender.

They may still wreck, but at least they won't be accelerating to the accident. I literally rode around the parking lot for two hours.
