Re: Picked up my first bike!!

Congrats on the first bike! :YEAH perfect for a starter bike. First thing is if you want to keep the plastics nice TAKE THEM OFF! see if anyone makes a cage for your bike and get one. You dont need a 12 bar or handbrake yet so dont waste your money. Take it slow and take your time. most people get hurt because they rush themselves; and use the clutch. power whoolies will hurt you.

Sweet! That was my first rocket, a purple and yellow F3. Things are virtually bullet-proof. Good choice. Check out McGraw insurance, cheapest I've found and as long as you didn't finance your bike, they won't reem you.

Re: Picked up my first bike!!

i got a freestyle cage for my f3 last week and its a pile of ****. go with something else.. i spent more time borring holes and re-drilling than i did installing the thing. now that its on its sturdy as hell.. but the install made me throw wrenches at my neighbors cat..

Re: Picked up my first bike!!

im not gonna stuntride this bike immediatley...im still gonna practice and get better on my dirtbikes...but i plan to fighter it out sometime in the future. im only 16 and this bike is more than enough for me...only negative thing about it is that its carbed.

Re: Picked up my first bike!!

shouldnt be too bad, watch edub ride his F3 in the outermost dvd, always seems like his circs have to be semi fast, never on idle...I dont know though, since I've never tried to circle a carb'd bike. I mean I can barely even do 1 circle on my f4i...
