Re: Ladies, lets see your ride
If you do well in the MSF a 500 would be great starter bike I LOVE the new GS500's, if you come out of it feeling not so confident and still a little sketchy on your skill's stick with the 250's.

Re: Ladies, lets see your ride
Wow, please never give riding advice again... Can you imagine what an MSF course would look like if we ran it on 600-1300cc bike's?? Let's just say my FF/EMT certification would REALLY come in handy. If you start small you will be happier in the long run, I speak from a REAL experience with it, and you want to come out of this learning experience with you and the bike in one piece.

I started with a 900, I know other that have started with larger bikes. Read what someone said before you respond

Re: Ladies, lets see your ride
No I started too big and ended up being airlifted to Halifax hospital with a broken back, 3rd degrees burns on 1/4 of my back from the bike flipping on top of me and road rash to the bone. 3 skin graph's and 1 year of physical rehab and here I am. Like I said I know b/c I have REAL experience with starting to big. Atleast I turned the experience into something positive, most people don't live through it for it to benefit them.

But at the same time I also stated that you need to take you time and get comfy, maybe you missed that part.

)
Ok, I'm done. Back to you guys

Re: Ladies, lets see your ride
Honestly I think we make this sport look easier than it is, I mean yeah now I teach the MSF and ride track, but in the beginning all my guy friend's were like just buy a 600 you'll get bored other wise and taking the MSF was the only experience I had at the time...

Re: Ladies, lets see your ride
yeah....is it blue? no, wait, it's purple! WOW, sneaky!
Glad to hear youre feeling better, btw. Ruptured a few discs in my back a couple years ago. Had a few surguries, now I have titanium and blue cobalt discs (I was part of a test study on them)....just call me bionic!

Re: Ladies, lets see your ride
Holy god you're not kidding! It's my buddies right now, he was on it when we went to bike week, and when I was riding next to him I had to switch sides! I couldn't be on his right with no helmet....
exhaust = bad
paint = bad
fake carbon fiber levers = bad
cheap bike = GOOD!
