ok, so the tfne people kinda know somethins been up, with possibly not bein able to make it to the next auto x for "licensing reasons"... cause i need to be able to get the license for the new beast in the lot. i broke down and bought one, more from seein frinds on one sayin "wow, that looks like a good time". it is, minus the idiots on the road. needs a good cleaning tho. all in all, a fun new toy
came modded with the fender elimnator, white windscreen, new sprocket for chain (minus 2 teeth for more TQ) and Akropovic Header Back (good for 9-14hp). the cycle world is definately different, but you can actually get a lot for them, so ive found out so far
Oh now thats nice... im lots jealous!! i have been lookin for a bike forever... never get to buy one though.... atleast now i know whos to steal (or you can just tell me where i can get one like it cheap )
good luck with the license too... you just going to go to the DMV and do it or take the class?? I highly recommend the class. its kinda gay but in the end you learn lots and get a deal on your insurance. Only problem is gettin into it... i signed up Months before class and got my 3rd frigin choice!!

yeah, from what i hear the class is kinda gay, but, as you said, its money off ins and a few tips and tricks that no one would think to pass on or that you would pick up from driving around. i tought myself what i know now and have the safety course painted in a parking lot about 1 mile down the road (tri-town ice arena) , so i can go practice any night i wish. only thing i have to prep for is the embankment on the course at the DMV, from what i hear...oh well, adapt and overcome
manninej, def a good bang for the buck, paid 3500 for it, with (now) 13,1xx miles. needs some minor work, but she gets up and goes still, plenty enough for a first bike. its an addiciton, worse than other addictions too. ive ridden probably 200 miles or so, between 3 towns in the past 4 days. i thought drivin a car was fun

very nice ride chris, gonna let me do some wheelies with it? Yes course very recomended. I took the same path as you thats how I earned the nickname crash lmao. just remember when your a rider any accident is your fault. what your reactions are makes out the outcome. you can't control the car that comes out in front of you but you can control how you hit it. be smart be careful. and enjoy. Don't try putting someone on the back for a few months and takes a while to know your bike. and when you do make sure you trust them lots and lots. only say cause I care. good luck with the course!

Just a note to all of our bikers here. Wear your helmets and gear up right.
One of my colleagues here at work has had 2 of her friends in ICU due to negligence on a driver of a car on one
Stupid stunts and no helmet on the other.
I don't wanna have to visit anyone in the hospital because you chose NOT to ride your bike with respect!
I know bike week is coming up this month and I've already noticed a HUGE influx in Manchester of bikes. I see some stupid stuff happening every day by these ppl. and just yesterday some bone head was going too fast on S. Willow and almost plowed into Dan and I because he was following his buddy and his buddy turned into a gas station.
Just be careful!

i might be up there next weds after work, im not going anywehere near those crazy a holes on the weekends. i think me and the 2 guys from work that have bikes might be headin up weds and callin it a day early.
and yes, always gearing up and double checking everything before every ride. i heard of a couple poeple dumpin their bikes this weekend, so its definately on my mind, well not on the road anyways
