I'm starting to lose interest in modding the coupe, I think it looks good the way it is now, I might just add the exhaust and top it off. I was looking into bikes lately, but I have no idea what I have to do to drive one. I heard there was a bike school to attend so I can get a liscence. Anyone know anything about this process?
I was looking at getting a GSX-R 600, or a kawasaki Ninja, maybe even a R6. I dont think I can handle the 1000+ cc super bikes from the start :P

 

I want one too man. Im with you on that

 

Go to PG community college for lessons. They are really good and also you take your motorcycle license test there.

 

My brother took the class offered by DMV - very good preparation and gets you the license, but apparently there's a wait list - especially in the spring...
Also, according to him and other motorcylists I've known, get a cheap starter bike, because you will lay it down. Upgrade once you've mastered it.

 

If you've never riden before I'd recommend gettin a used 400cc 600cc at most to practice. You can get an old something that runs well for pretty cheap (~$2,000). Last thing you want to do is mess up a brand new bike, which will happen if you have to much power. Nothing like having to lay down a your new toy.

And I'd also opt for the class. If you learn from a friend they may teach you all kinds of bad habits . Good luck getting a slot this far in the spring though.

 

600cc is plenty fast, R6 is my favorite followed by CBR 600RR. Not a fan of GSXRs. eitherway, you better worry about all the lawyer fee and fines and insurance hike before you seriously consider getting a bike.

 

ahh.. way to go on bringing me down again... haha :P

 

my bad bro, just trying to make sure you dont end up in debt. if you can afford it go for it man. hope you end up with a nice bike

 

Yamaha R1 rocks

 

dayam.. the wait list at the MVA is ridiculous, they cant squeeze me in until july, and i gotta go all the way to anne arrundel C C... I think I'm gonna have to catch that mod bug again.. :P

 

Get a Hayabusa!!!

LOL, Just joking man. ***DO NOT EVEN SIT ON ONE!!!***
That bike is SICK! Imagine ~160 HP applied to ~475 pounds + whatever you weigh! It's just ridiculous, man.

If you DO decide to get one, I have dibs on your Volks!

 

^ ha ... im seriously considering getting a bike.. instead of modding my car this summer...

 

I was seriously considering a bike last year. Until well, I just knew I'd get into a bad accident with one. Is it really worth it? Prob. not. Better safe than sorry.

 

I agree w/ Pratik...some of you guys cant even stay on the road on four wheels and not get into an accident....why increase your chances by getting on two wheels IMO
