Oh, and hammerhead, nathan doesn't need to get any more comfortable sliding on the street :nono: I've worked far too hard to overcome that sickness
I'm with you on that man. I'd take an outright broken bone anyday over something like a torn loose rib that can't really be treated. I popped one loose at the sternum and it took forever to heal. Another one that was absolutely NO FUN was when I got out in the marbles at the Wichita ¼ mile oval. I lost traction bad enough that I drifted out into the grass and low-sided. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal but for some reason I was so relaxed that when my butt hit the ground my left hip came up inside my rib cage and broke my 2 lower ribs on that side. They were pushed out so bad you could see the bump with my leathers on. I jumped up, grabbed the bike to rejoin the race and promptly went right back to the ground unable to breath. My crew had to wheel me off the track using my bike for a gurney... Worse than not being able to breath was watching the rest of the seasons points going to someone else.
well i gotta start savin my money to find a bike. i have to more hours of Driver Training to complete and then i can go and get my bike permit. but my parents are gonna make me pay for it alone...weak. they bought my bro a bike. so the question is: what kinda bike should i look at getting (reliable, freeway speeds, lightish, etc...) ive got a few years experience on dirt bikes and quads so it doesnt have to be a ninja 250...
i like my xr650 freeway capable and fun off road
R6
yea, im likin an enduro of some kind, but my mom told me that i have to get an on-road only bike. i have no idea why... i can probly convince her out of it.... im gonna start searching craigslist and see what i find for cheap, which is what i need, even though they dropped 8k on a bike for my bro.
so the question is: what kinda bike should i look at getting (reliable, freeway speeds, lightish, etc...) ive got a few years experience on dirt bikes and quads so it SHOULD STILL BE A ninja 250...
Fixed it for you! Any experience you have on dirt is almost a curse on the street, no matter how good you are off road. Swallow your pride, get a ninja 250. I'll say it as many times as I have to, because I've seen a ton of "fast dirt guys" splatter themselves on a bigger bike; You WANT to start small, you NEED to start small! Nothing further hinders your ability to get a good grasp on street riding than having too much power come up and bite you in the ass when you least expect it! A ninja 250 will have enough power to get you around just fine, but when you make that little bobble it won't be so quick to ditch you.You're gonna get what you wanna get, but most guys won't swallow their pride and get a little bike. I just very, very strongly suggest you allow yourself to hone your skills on a smaller bike before getting something bigger. It'll be an easier pitch to your parents, and possibly easier to get them to help you purchase a bigger one later when you can prove your responsibility with your little ninja
the only thing i think is that when i can get driving on the freeway it wont be much...
honestly i would have no problem riding a ninja 250,someone says something "whats that you drive? yea, i thought so flopp YOU!" the only thing i think is that when i can get driving on the freeway it wont be much...do you have to hold the motorcycle permit for 6 months?
