First Bike!

#1 Unread post by TheRaceMaster »

Hi Everyone!

So I decided I wanted to start riding motorcycles. I went to a dealer with all kinds of bikes, and it didn't take me long to decide on one!

Image

The dealer told me it's probably the fastest bike around, and that's what I like...speed and RACING! (Hence the name :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: )

I had it delivered to my house (since I don't have a license) but once I had it at home, I took it out on the freeway and did 135 mph! THIS THING IS DEFINITELY FAST!!!!!!!!

I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I don't have time to be bothered with courses or getting a license or permit and all that jazz, so I'm just going to teach myself (I'm a real self-starter) and master the skills on my own.

Hope to see you guys out there on the road!!!!

Trolling? If you mean trolling, like trolling motors on boats, Not me!

I ride fast, trolling is for people with 250cc bikes and scooters!

Worst troll ever.

The good ones have some subtlety. A quality troll isn't obvious. If a troll is doing well, the other members of the forum aren't quite sure if he's serious or not.

There aren't many things more sad than a crappy troll.

Welcome!

I think they mean by trolling that they don't believe you actually got a brand new 1300cc Hayabusa as your first bike and you don't even have a licence yet.

If you did infact, REALLY buy a Hayabusa, then we'd all tell you to park it, pick up a GS500F and ride it for a few years, pick up a 600cc sportbike, ride it for a few years, then, you might be ready for that Hayabusa.

Or you could jump on the Hayabusa, ride it at 1% of it's performance and have a very slow learning curve, if it doesn't scare the pants off of you that first day.

Whatever you do, DO NOT jump on that bike before you complete your course and without proper riding gear. Please.

BTW, 250cc bikes are nothing to sneeze at. I'd place a bet that a new rider on a Ninja 250R would beat a new rider on the Hayabusa the first day out. In other parts of the world, a 250cc IS a BIG bike, infact, 250cc (or smaller) is the largest you can buy in many countries.

Don't forget the apehangers.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
