What would you do if you didn't own a motorcycle?
How would you spend your time I guess is what I am asking. Seeing that motorcycles are a bit time consuming when it comes to pre-ride inspection, getting on all your gear before you leave the house, and maintenance.

That's great man. Keep raising for a bike. Everywhere I go, they either tell me I'm to young or that they promise to give me a job. I need one now.

WOOT! My bike is now states inspected, registered, has texas plates, and is in my name. I'm licensed and on the road. Put in a dozen or so miles around local streets and down our busiest street and made myself a lot more confident. Found a few areas I need to work on, better to know you need work than not know and still need it.
Also filled my gas tank, must have done it incorrectly(take on side stand?) I could see the gas at the top but when I start the bike it says half full and it only took about a gallon. So weird compared to my 20g tank SUV. Things to work on: Shifting down several gears but still moving smoothly, say 45 to 20mph. Tight right hand turns from a dead stop. And smooth shifting in general. Just for good measure slow U-turns.  edit: opps somehow posted on the wrong thread, my bad. Last futzed with by OddlyOrdinary; October 19th, 2011 at 05:37 PM. |

If I couldn't ride, I'd be getting my helicopter license. If I didn't own a bike, I'd be shopping for one or working for one.
If I'd never even had the idea of a bike pop into my head, I'd probably be having a midlife crisis. |

If I didn't have a motorcycle.. I'd probably be hooning in an E28/32 BMW, or a Miata. I probably would've actually gotten into autocross at some point. (I meant to do so when I had my Evo, but I just kept putting it off because I didn't think I was ready).

If I didn't own a motorcycle, I would:
*Drive a car to work, contributing to global warming. *Not wear gear, except in the bedroom.  *NOT post regularly on a motorcycle forum. You bikeless kids are nuts. *Have less fun on the weekends. *Only save about 1-2 minutes on my commute getting ready (you've overestimated prep time), but lose about 25 minutes in traffic because I can't split lanes.  *Plan to buy a motorcycle.
