Re: Bike day!!

Thanks all :)

I got a good deal on it, paid $200 under blue book. Didn't have to haggle with the seller at all, and he was very open about the bikes history. He was the second owner, had bought the bike for his wife to learn on, but after she dropped it an intersection (gravel/sand in a turn at ...

Re: Bike day!!

After I posted the picture, I though to myself "Hmm... I bet people are going to ask if the oil underneath is from the bike". :lol:

Re: Bike day!!

No, that is not oil from the bike. :lol:

It's oil from my elderly fathers P.O.S 1975 Olds Cutlass.

If the bike leaked like that (no leaks at all actually..), no way I would have bought it.....

Bike day!!

Been awhile since I posted here, been mostly lurking.

Finally purchased my first motorcycle, a 2005 Suzuki Boulevard S40. 9,000 miles, well cared for.

My first ride was a beautiful ride down I-5 in SW Oregon, cool evening and a beautiful sunset back dropping the mountains around where I live. 35 ...

Re: Helmet type

I bought a modular helmet as my first one. Don't know how it is for noise yet, as I haven't bought a motorcycle yet (went for the gear first). There is no way I'd go with a half-helmet. I think the added protection of a full face is worth it, because I like my face just the way it is. Not to mention ...

Re: Hoverbike?

Very interesting. The altitude speculation is pretty impressive as well. At least cruising along at a couple thousand feet, you wouldn't have to worry about Molly McCellphone merging over into your lane...

Re: Glad I found this site!

Finished the Team Oregon BRT today. Had an absolute blast all weekend. I'm pretty impressed with the course overall, and even though it was mandatory (At 30 yrs old I fall under the cut off for the new state law), I would have taken it even if it was optional. A lot of the stuff I've read, both on ...

Re: Glad I found this site!

Yep, I'm going through the Team Oregon training. What's nice is the training location is a two minute drive from my house. I've been all over their website and I was quite impressed with it. I think Oregon is doing something right by the way they are mandating the training in order to get a ...
