I just got back into riding and already 3 acquaintances have contacted me for advice
I appreciate them wanting my advice, but I don't know too much about every bike. This doesn't stop them from requesting for help in searching for a bike for themselves. One work acquaintance even called me just a bit ago and asked if I can help him search for a deal on a Harley Davidson Iron 883. I don't know **** about those bikes lol
A college classmate asked me last week if I can go with him to a test ride for a Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R. I've never ridden anything bigger than a Ninja 250R, but I'm down to test ride a ZX6R! Anyone else experience this? People wanting advice on getting into the motorcycle world, I mean.

I make people fill a questionnaire. Then research the topics on internet. Then only come to me on areas with no easy answer.

Soooo... friend who knows nothing about bikes (therefore a new rider) wants a ZX6R, presumably as a first bike.
Bring a camera. There's yet another Youtube sportbike fail video on the way....
Link to original page on YouTube.

Yep. People assume you know a lot about bikes.
I'm finding that a lot of my friends have had bikes in the past, which is kind of cool. |
