    You need to get a partnership going with a riding school near you, these are the videos people need to see before they make a decision on buying a motorcycle/learning to ride.

    Spunky you’re so right about the extra cash. I worked all the overtime I could get my hands on to get my moto.
    I had my out of state bike delivered to me and price didn’t remain the same as predicted.
    Your video is dead on point. I got a ZX10R a month back and my plan is start riding alone by next summer after taking a riders coarse.
    I’m doing the coarse twice. First time using a provided bike and once I pass the class, then request to take my ZX10R through it with Instructor.
    I’m not riding with anybody for the longest time. I want some alone time for my bike to tell me all about super bikes.
    My bike 🏍 has a straight pipe so they hear me coming, once I’m comfortable with traffic. There’s places here my bike will never travel because dangerous drivers enjoy blowing through red lights.
    Thanks for the instruction Spunk Dawg.

      Ya it definitely adds up real quick and that’s smart to ride solo for a bit and get the feel for the bike. I actually ride solo a lot I only like to ride with people I trust..gets stupid real quick on those sport bikes haha glad everything is working out well for you and thanks for watching!

      damn bro a 10r for ur first bike? thats fking crazy for a beginner. It took me 2 years on my svart 701 to feel the need to upgrade to my current liter bike. I am a solo rider as well but let me tell you, its hella easy to get carried away with the throttle and start feeling confident. Just ride safe bro and take it easy.

      @@tkurban I’m just a beginner as in owning my first bike, not riding a bike. I rode friends and families bikes as a kid.
      Pops had a Harley Sportster in early 70s he had to kickstart to turn the motor over. Then he bought that 1978 Kawasaki 1000LTD brand new, first time I laid eyes on a bike with an electric start button.
      My sixth grade year in Elementary school I was steering, braking and gear shifting that 1000, but because of my short youngster legs, he was acting as passenger holding on to my back and planting his feet for me at stop signs and traffic lights.
      Those Dad-Son lessons prepared me for my first car, a used 1980 Chevy 5-speed manual transmission. No training needed. My youngster bike days riding as a kid put me in the driver seat my 18th birthday driving my stick shift from car lot, down highways to the campus grounds of my freshman year of college.
      Out of my seven uncles and four aunts, five of the fellas had bikes. My first cousins owned dirt bikes and my big brother in his twenties owned two street bikes over the years. Because of his hectic work schedule I never rode his Cow1000 but he did let me take his new Harley soft tail out for a long spin.
      After looking back over the years, I’ve decided to get legal and apply for motorcycle license and get a bike that really looks like me. There’s lots of bikes I pay no mind. But brother let me tell you, these track bikes have the look I love. And I always have.
      Never thought much of the grandpa bikes with a built on high chair riding some big fat wife or girlfriend on the back with music blasting.
      That just ain’t me, nah-uh.
      My friend I respect bikes and riders. I got nothing to prove to nobody. No wheelies or lane splitting for this ole boy. It cost too much in health and bike parts to fill an ego trip. Thanks for your advise and will do Bro.
      Peace ☮️

      @@kharri2476 I thought the 10r was your first bike and scared me for a second but glad to hear that you have years of experience being on one. I currently own a 22 R1, I do agree that modern liter bike looks good. I currently daily my R1 but I signed up to a track school next year and hopefully next year I can also start attending or doing track days. Right now, I am currently saving to get another bike but maybe this time it will be an adventure bike. My friends are asking me why I want an adventure bike when I am only 24 years old and the answer I always gave them is that I just love how it looks and I just want to be on one hahaha. Ride safe fellow rider and enjoy your new bike.

Started this summer with my uncle and we both collectively tried a plethora of bikes ranging from (HondaCBR125->Ninja250->GS500F->ZX-9R->GSXR750->CBRF4i and now I myself am looking to get a Ninja 400 and my Uncle has chosen to ride a Custom Harley. these bikes at the 100bhp range and up are just absolutely bat$#@! crazy for street and city usage.

    Don't drive fast or reckless in areas you are not familiar with and practice predicting traffic patterns. When you do drive fast be ready to slow down when you see someone. It's courteous and respectful of the area. People will be less likely to report your activity if they know you are just out to have fun.

    I'm about to take be msf course in June. I've always wanted to ride motorcycles since I was a kid. My family members had bikes. I also had a cousin that had mini bikes. I never got to ride them. But I am finally going to get one by the end of 2024. I'm not looking to be speed racer or go to any tracks. I just want a motorcycle I won't grow out of. I've had my regular class C license for 10 years and I just got my class A few months ago. Out of all these years I've never been in an accident or gotten anything on my license like a ticket or DUI (but ofc bc I don't drink and drive). I've got a clean record.
    So thing is sat on quite a few bikes and I really want a Kawasaki Z series bike. I loved how I could flat foot the Z500. I felt ok on the Z650 but most confident on the Z500. Thing is now I really want the Z900 but I haven't sat on it yet and I would want to get it lowered to feel most confident since it's heavier than the other 2. I don't plan on riding other motorcycles so me getting the bike lowered and suspension set to me will not bother me at all. I'm not looking to get 10 other motorcycles, only 1. I've started watching videos of beginners buying the Z900 or vids of noobs buying 650cc and up. Anyone want to give there thoughts, advice or opinions?

      As Fall Season gets here back roads which are primarily made with black tar poured down then pea gravel spread out over it then rolled are literally the worst road's to be practicing on, because pea gravel has the absolute worst traction of any road surface made! Just don't!
      Find any asphalt road you can get on! Guy I know just messed himself and his bike up on pea gravel and that road has been there forever.
