) I'm going to do it! I've decided on a Kawasaki ex250 or 250r...probably used (maybe even a 500r). I'm planning on taking the MSF course when I move back home and I'll start shopping around for a sled, thereafter.Honestly, I'm kind of scared about the whole thing. I've had some bad spills in my time from dirt bikes, and I can't imagine how it would have felt to have fallen on asphalt with cars around. My biggest fear is other motorists, but when I think about the worst possible consquence of an accident (you guys know what I mean here) the enjoyment or just the excitement of trying something new seems to overpower any of the negative parts of riding.
Well, I'm 25 now, and I'm glad I'm starting riding at this age, and not...say, 18 or even 21...when I was still really dumb. I think maturity doesn't come so much from age, though, as it does from experience..because I've been through some stuff...close calls, friends passing, that has REALLY made me think twice about doing certain things, and now I think I could start something like street riding that requires a level of maturity, respect, and responsibility that a lot of people in the scene (at least back home) don't seem to have, and I think I finally do......I just hope I'm not wrong about myself!!!
On a lighter note, I look forward to reading the forum and learning tips and what not from you guys!
BTW, do you think a Kawasaki 500R would be too much for me?
Sorry this was a bit long-winded, but thanks for reading and for your input!
