Anybody on this site have a motorcycle?

I wont ride with any one till they get there endorsement. No offence to anyone I just like the bike the way it is and still have both arms and legs. My advise for novise riders, is to ride by your self for awhile and dont watch any stunt videos, and whe you ride in a group stay in the middle or rear and WATCH WHAT YOUR DOING!

Also I have heard very good things about Minnesotas Motorcycle safty coarse, you may want to check that out, plus they give you your endorsement at the end.

Just watch your self on the roads this summer though guys, Minnesotans are the WORST DRIVERS in this country when it comes to looking for bikes in there mirrors. The Hells Angels need to come MN to do some legislation like they did for california.

i'd be willing to put an AZ driver up against an MN one anyday for title of Ultimate Least Aware Samurai.

I'm waiting till Spring to get my license, but I've been out once with my buddy. Just yesterday. Damn, it got cold but it was fun...haha. We're getting back out today in a couple hours or so.

Minnesota's motorcycle safety course was really good, I feel I learned a lot. I had to take it because I was 15 at the time, but I highly recomend any new rider no matter their age to take it.

since 99, i've wanted an r6. It's a small bike, but within my means. I still wish to have that bike..I love the blue, and it's styling is sexy as hell. I just gotta move out before I ever am able to own one..

isn't it funny how most our cars could walk the bikes, yet the bikes get more attention? I think they bring about different attitudes, and just riding them..it's a much more free-feeling.

I have a 97 YZF1000R. I have been riding since april or so of last year. I got a good deal on it and have been happy with it.

What the hell is that! The New R6's are no pussy cat bike, I rode a new one in chicago when I was buying my new V-Star Midnight and that thing is nibble and quick and reving to 17k and throttle by wire they are very drivable but dangerous in the wrong hands.

My 04 R1 is brute power and handeling to boot, plus they run high 9's in the quarter of the show room floor with the right rider. Didn't know there are alot of street dsm cars running 9's.I have never been passed by a car on the R1, when I was in Califonia and I had my 98 R1 when I was 17 I would consistanly put the hurt on exotics and I really couldn't ride to well then.

I would recommand the safty course as well, I took mine it California so I could get my license early as well. The more you can learn and practice about riding the better. Many 18 year old kids out there buying new sport bikes and thinking there Greg Rainy and either killing there ride or worst them selves and or someone else.

I have riden to Scottsdale a few times on my old liter bike didn't seem to be that bad as for the drivers, but you really need to pick up the pass during the day becouse they will ride your rear tire if you aren't doing 80+.

i am saying that generally, the 600's or even 700's are at the level of a dsm, or slightly slower, depending on the car. this didn't include 1000's. but, that also assumes that the guy knows how to ride the bike. I have seen a few r1's go down..in fact, cher and myself kept up with that green one down on uni (yes, it is green..they had tv's in the mirrors, during the bike's past life) and cher only made 428..

well even the 600's are getting to be pretty quick these days. my bike runs a 10.65 quarter mile. I'm not sure what the 0-60 is, but the 60-100 is like, 4.6 I think. I'm not sure how many street dsm's are running those kind of times. I know there's some that are running better, but for the most part, I don't think that many are.

hahhahha if anyone thinks they can hang with a liter bike i'm sure Jet would be down to show how unrealistic that goal is.
