I'm picking up my 07 VFR on Monday, I'm a new rider but I'm taking advanced riding courses before I drive on the freeway/off post. Ya I'm military.. Anyone in the area who goes on rides?

????, why would you want to do endo's with an interceptor? I dunno about that "Jones" guy.

SO you have a evo? Have you ever raced a black '05 STI w/ a front mount that running around that base?

ABS wont keep you from doing a stoppie - besides, if you lock the front tire with the back end in the air, your *** is going to be on the floor.

RJ don't be a hater, Foxtrot Uniform Charilie Kilo - Yankie Oscer Uniform. =3

Naw I haven't raced anyone lately in my Evo, last I heard that guy was like 500+whp, I'm just sittin 350whp on mustang dyno.

I don't listen to Jones much anyways, since he said his dad had him and his brother sit on the hood of his car and drive around so they got the feel of being on a bike.. then said he had two back at home and bragged about driving illegally without insurance or proper licensing.

Edit: Well, I don't plan on doing stunts or any racing, I'm just gonna ride so I don't care about trying to do any "pit bull stands" or otherwise.
