I swear... no one on H-T likes motorcycles... it really sucks. I enjoy bikes about as much as i enjoy imports yet only a handfull of you seem to agree with me... tis a shame...

 

yeah. there are some good riding sites out there, so we only catch the import techie/bike crowd, which is pretty small. i can't think of any ways to promote this forum effectively...without just bringing in more useless posts.

we will always have the "whats a good first bike?" post from the random guy from another forum, but its cool. theres a good handful of riders that stop in regularly.

 

i agree, . . . . ive been on superbikes.net alot lately.
i actually got some new ideas from there for my ancient *** bike.

 

I'm trying to use this board more....since I've gotten my last two cars stolen, I'm gettin a bike b/c I feel I can keep a better grip on it b/c I can park it closer to my apt. etc. I'll be in here alot more once the damn insurance co. settles w/ me

 

I enjoy bikes just as much as my car......... but I just don't have a bike yet I check in here everyday to try and gain some knowledge though.

 

well tell everyone you know who is interested in bikes to come here... I get tired of talking ONLY about imports... bikes rule

 

I used to ride all the time. But then I realized that I was a friggin loon and had no buisness on a bkie,les I end up dead.

When I think I can be more mature about it,I may buy another one.

At first I was ridind old CBR's and then when I got my new job I started buying crazier bikes,my last bike was an R1 and if I hadn't sold that and stayed away,my next bike was going to be a Hayabusa,so it's good I stopped when I did.

 

I stop in on a regular basis and I think we have a good group here. I've had a sportbike in my garage for the last 16 years, I guess you can call me a "mature" rider. You don't find many guys in the 35+ age group still ridding a true sportbike, most have either made the switch over to a BMW, gave up on bikes, or they've long since departed this world (i.e. a grease spot on some road).

 

Haha, we're the only age group that can afford te insurance. You just can't tell how old we are because we're not squidish I have friends who are over 60 and have many bikes, Ducatis, R1s, Rc51s.

 

And it sucks to be me (18 year old male insurance group). Even though im not a moron and dont ride like im the only person in the world, i still get the God awful insurance prices. I took the MSF course which helps some but still....

 

Well we have to have something to be happy about at our age

 

thats another reason why im looking at a kawi 250R. People may laugh at me for getting a 250cc bike but i can get insurance for it for $200 a year. On a 96 Gixxer 750 id pay about $900 a year BARE min coverage.

 

do it. get that 250. you'll probably be a better rider for it in the long run. i can tell you right now my 750 is too much bike for a beginner. forunately i was a member of the over-the-handlebars club before i bought it so i twist my wrist cautiously...

 

yay!! SUPPORT!!!

 

I've been riding bikes longer than I've been driving cars.. and I was on track with them first also, so I'm here for both.

 

I'm here as well!! 92 Civic Si (Hybrid) 00 Suzuki TL-1000R

 

The problem I think is this is Honda Tech you all are not just talking about hondas.
I enojoy bikes a car can't come close to the acceleration without spending a fortune and making your car run like crap. Plus I can get the front wheels of my car up in the air at a 100 damn cars. :D
