Buy a used bike and learn on it.
Lolz at getting a new bike to learn on. Especially one custom made.

Fuck It - I bought a motorcycle
- Thread starter stussy5555
- Start date
As a long time motorcyclist, I say congrats.
Like someone else said...ride it like you stole it. Don't think about the stats...or you will fuck yourself up. Keep your head on a swivel and always be aware of what's going on around you and you will be fine.
Remember; there are only two speeds when you ride a bike if you are doing it right - fast and OMFG FAST!!
Have fun and keep it sunny side up

Quite possibly the most fucking retarded advice I have ever seen given to a new motorcyclist...and by a fucking newb as well. Oh well...with that attitude you won't be around long to dish out more shit advice to other new bike riders.
Be as visible as possible. Most fucktards in their steel cages have got no fucking idea you are there at the best of times.
Buy good equipment, good boots, good helmet that fits properly, good jacket and gloves as well as leather pants or those Kevlar reenforced pants (like Draggin). Don't leave the house in shorts or a t shirt...when you hit the road, you hit it hard.
Go get some riding instruction and take some advanced riding classes. You live longer, you'll enjoy your riding more, you will be a better rider...and more importantly, you will live to ride a long time.
Enjoy and don't listen to the fucktards.
Maybe it's a personal thing, but I think the skinny rear wheel looks like shit. The rest of the bike looks pretty cool though.
Nice bike - I get so sick of those peasant unswagged crotch rockets clogging the roads for my exotic cars.
yep, dress for the crash. My stuff saved me when I crashed twice. I quit after that btw. Buy the strongest kit and helmet you can afford.
I'm taking a the MSF and already bought some nice gear. Full face Simpson helmet, gloves, boots, etc. I know I will look like an idiot to some people wearing my full face helmet but I really could give a shit less, I'm not going to face plant and not have some protection around my jaw.
BTW, my friend let me ride his older Harley around a large lot yesterday. It went pretty well for my first time out. Just soo many controls to learn and your mind starts working a little bit, but toward the end of the session, I was much better, take turns, speeding up, stopping harder, etc.
Thats a mean bike you have their - just make sure you're careful on it. Many people are killed each year both from bikers being careless as well as other road users being careless. Be careful.
