New rider in Austin,tx
Hello! I am new to riding and looking to get a 300.
I have went to the dealer and sat on one, and it feels great, doing lots of reading right now. I still need to take the MSF course, I’m shopping for gear before I even get the bike. I have a list that I need some help on that ill post soon. Hell, im building a rebel bobber right now too for my GF. Selling my beloved 240sx that I been building for the past 6 yrs-gonna be hard to let her go. I have been on bikes before, but no city riding. So it will be a brand new experience. also i have been eyeing the fz-07....sexxy! |

UPDATE
Yeah! i just jumped the gun before i sold my 240... haha
took it around the block a couple times. the first time. i am so happy i went with a 300 instead of a SS bike. Very forgiving. i had a problem with the throttle since i wore my gauntlets i couldnt really feel it. going to msf this weekend and gonna keep practicing around the block. dont worry i wore all the gear i had. I just passed the BRC course and just need the written test at the dmv! i am stoked!! |
