Sorry. Didn't mean to offend. Exactly the opposite, actually.

Every day I'm amazed at the claims from the health industry at our apparent shortage of trained doctors. You see every time I check out a newbie thread I find a surfeit of gastrointestinal surgeons skillfully ripping a new... well hopefully I left enough clues for you to get my point. :laughing:

If I saw you riding your gixxer near me with ya 4 inch chicken strips, parked at the lights idling at 4000+ rpm with the choke half out cause ya too fookin silly to even know what you need to know, I think Id have to dismount my ride and stroll over to you from which Id feel immense need to swing my ALpinestar GP tech gloved right fist fair into your ugly pimply smelly cake hole, dragg you from your stead kicking and screaming like a little girly man, then ring my 8 yr old daughter to come ride your poor luckless bike home the way it was meant to be ridden.

Hi, alleywayriqashay.

I'm a newbie myself, and I am disappointed to find so many rude responses from the more experienced bikers out there, even if your situation is ripe for it. A lot of the posts seem like something the more senior bikers, who are clearly shaking their heads & muttering, should be posting to one another--not publicly belittling a newb.

If you go to "Learn To Ride A Motorcycle" (http://www.wyndfeather.com/learn/motorcycle.htm), you will find a section on bikes for new riders, and just as importantly, bikes new riders should not even consider:
"Do not even remotely think about riding any motorcycle like these as a beginner..."

You will find your bike in that list. It is the HP, I think, that is the problem. Your bike has over 100 HP, despite the engine displacement. If you are hoping, on this site, to find a way to manage the bike you have, I don't think you will find it. I don't know the circumstances by which you came by this bike, but from all accounts, even the rude ones, you should get rid of it.

I wish you well, and I wish the smart-mouthed riders out there would go laugh at us on another website, not one that was supposedly earmarked for newbies.

I'm not going to excuse it but I would ask you to look at it from the PoV of the riders who have been on this forum faithfully answering the same questions from new riders for years now

The questions about sporsbikes have come up so often that we even stickied it.

People arguing that they were the exception to the rule extended that thread out to 12 pages before it was nuked.

We don't get paid, our only reward is hopefully keeping you guys safe during the most vulnerable period of your riding career, so yes we get a little bitter when it appears our time is being wasted.

Not an exxcuse, just a reason.

Don't use the choke, adjust the idle and rev the engine up every now and then. Keeping the choke on will cause problems with the bike and also can cause you to crash.

Trying to ride a bike that is beyond your skill set will cause you to crash quicker.

Why are you so high and mighty that you think that every one other then you is riding beyond their skill level. Choke on a bike works different from a choke on car, and indeed can cause you to crash.

The guy might be a perfectly safe and responsible rider in all other respects.

Are you telling me to "fudge" off while laughing out loud, or do you feel the need to use :) and "lol" while telling other guys to "fudge" off because you are a 12 year old asian girl?

And any way, why the anger? I wasn't really talking to you, was I. Now, "fudge" Off.
