Not sure how it is in your area right now, but a friend of mine who works for a local dealer complained about not being able to sell 250s right now because of the 300. So that might work to your...

If this will be your first bike, don't buy new. When you're learning, you probably will drop the bike or dump it in a corner. Dropping a brand new 250/300 will hurt a whole lot more than dropping a...

Now that you fine folks have given me a little hope of finding gear for the track, I'm strongly considering keeping the 250 as a track bike.

I've put 200 miles on the new 300 and I am seriously...

I'm far too attached to it to simply sell it off. It's my first motorcycle, after all. I would make it a track bike or something, but my bizarrely proportioned body(I'm 6'4, 160lbs with a 36 inch...

I'll be putting up some pics soon. Gotta head to the DMV(I refuse to call it the MVD, sounds like a venereal disease) and transfer the title, etc. The 20 mile ride home was amazing even though it...

They are indeed! Not my first encounter with one, but definitely the scariest. And thanks :D "Young Frankenstein" is, in my opinion, the funniest movie ever made.
