Any bikers in the house??

[wee_blondie]

I just bought my first motorbike at the tail end of 2006. Passed my test in November and I love it!! Got a sweet little Kawasaki ER-6f (sorry can't post a pic due to my rubbish-ness at all things digital!)

Would be interested to know if anyone else rides and do you have any tips for newbies??

So far I've been the passenger. (With the exception of my sons dirt-bike, I ride that.) But I have been considering getting a motorcycle license in the spring.

I don't own one, but they sure look like fun! I have been contemplating buying one.

I have had them in the past and they are simply a blast! Enjoy it alot! Whatever you do though do not buy the line that we need some money for Medical School from your wife. Once you sell your bike it is hard to get one back until your real old.:rofl:

Erm....thanks for the advice.... Not married a girl yet, still working my way through the men! My folks split up a few years ago, and when I decided to get my licence, my dad took the opportunity to get back into bikes....I added him to my insurance policy and he's having a blast! Can't wait till he gets his own and we can go cruisin'

For sure Drac, I've already come close to getting smushed by car drivers who just don't look! Thankfully, riding with my eyes open pays off. The police here do a "bikesafe" course from time to time so I'm hoping to enroll in the next one.

Harley's? Cool :ultracool .....my dad wants one of those!

Ex-girlfriend once gave me a ration of crap about my bike, she ended with the sentence "You'll be riding all by herself"..Her brother chimed with "He rides a Harley, he won't ride alone for long"..It was WW III in her house aftyer that statement...Sorry off topic, but its a good story..

Love to Bike but the wife put her foot down so now it is a mini van

To me that sounds like an excellent reason to ride a bike!!

I love getting away by myself for weekends etc; can't wait to do it on the bike!!

During my single I would do that a lot ..Jump on and head one direction until I got bored and then head back...

Amen to that! My philosophy is "If you don't have a destination, you can't get lost" Makes driving a lot less stressful!! :ultracool

I ride a Honda 1100 Sabre.

I enjoy my bike and hope you will enjoy yours for many years to come.

Yes, and loud pipes go a long way toward making your presence known.
