Country:  | Im buying a Crotch-Rocket
Its a Suzuki GSX 600,
man this thing goes from 0-120 K like f*cking no effort
any the original price for it was about 15.000, but i was able to work the guy down to 13.850, but with the new exhuast system im putting on it in total it should be about 16.500.
I gotta get my class 6, but my brother has a class 6, so i can ride beside him legally as a beginner.

Country:  | Congrats. I myself prefer Harley Sporsters... I risk my neck enough with my day job, so I don't think I should tempt fate by getting a bike.
Please just don't be one of those morons that busts wheelies and stoppies, and at traffic lights stands up and spins the rear tire...

Country: | Nice bike, sweet. Good move getting something that puts a little fear into you. Not into bikes anymore myself (prefer ragtops) but am 100% in agreement that the day you stop pushing for a wild ass ride is the day you start dying. GO TO IT! | |

Country: | I'd never buy a bike for one simple reason - I'd kill myself within a week. Riders aren't know as organ doners for nothing! I'll keep my car thanks, ok I wish it was as quick as a bike, but at least I have a loud stereo, aircon, comfy seats, and a vague chance of surviving a crash. Plus I don''t have to dress like a Power Ranger to drive it :P | |

Country: | I owned a bike once, for about a week... I got it up to 160 mph and got rid of it quickly, as I sensed my death around the corner...
Bikers are targets for the moronic and the senile....

I remember driving from Greenville, SC to Valdosta, GA last year and it taking like 8 hours. Over here on the Autobahn that same distance would take only a few!  Quote: |

Isn't Moody AFB in Valdosta, GA? The zoomies have so many bases I can't keep track of them. The Drive from Quantico to P'cola was a 13 hour drive. Thank God I'm not doing the FL to CA drive.

Country: | It's true there aren't many places you can drive fast in the UK - damn camera and talivans are everywhere. But there are still places you can enjoy some spirited driving (on a private road officer). I'd love to go to America, get a muscle car and hit the open road though! | |
