[Evan]

Hey yeah ive decided to jump the bike bandwagon, so my friend can have a riding buddy.
I bought my first bike, an old POS 87 750R, I already have all my gear and everything so im trying to be as safe as possible.

And just in case there is anyone from OT here, yeah its the same Evan.

Anyways, nice to join the biking community.

fill out your profile n00b.

you should probably ask someone where you can get someone to do maintenance on that thing, because I sure as hell don't know.

Do you have any experience, even on dirt or anything? Have you thought about taking the MSF course (Motorcycle Safety Foundation)? LOTS of people on this board have done it and always tell new riders to do it. That old 750 can still get you in trouble but just take it easy while you're getting use to riding...it takes a while to get real comfortable and gain some skills, don't try to catch up with your buddy too fast. You definately did a smart thing with buying an older bike instead of something new, that way when you drop it or if you crash it you won't be as mad or out as much money. :waytogo:

Hey Gbrookie, and Evan :smile:

Welcome!

Gbrookie, could you please replace your avatar with something a little less offending to the opposite sex?
Thanks! :waytogo:

 

[Gbrookie71]

Are just playing or do you want me to change it. If it offends anyone one i will change it. I just used it because thats what is on all my other forums thats all. :crazy:

 

[GSRider]

I personally have no issue with it, but the site rules are the rules :smile:

 

[Gbrookie71]

o ok ill change it :bawling:

 

[F4FWildcat]

welcome.

Like ENP83 said...MSF courses are golden. I learned on dirtbikes when I was a kid and I think it has saved my life a coulple times..especially in the spring when all the ice melts and there is sand everwhere on the roads. Taking a cloverleaf at 45MPH in the dirt can take you down quickly. if you know someone with a dirtbike ask them to let ya play around on it.

 

[Evan]

I plan on taking the MSF course, I never planned on not taking it.
I have ridden dirt bikes a few times before but I rode 50CC and 125CC motor scooters (yamahas) for like 6 or 7 years (as if that counts for anything)
But yeah im really looking forward to riding.

 

[F4FWildcat]

All and any experience counts. I have watched everyone of my friends go down...all that means is I am next.

 

[evander]

Welcome to esb it gets addictive.

Fill out your profile and always remember.

BTW nice name.

 

[MiniBubba]

plus you pretty much have to take the MSF course in california to get your license, since you're 19.

 

[Dclxvi]

Grats hope you love riding as much as all of us do :smile: :808922-fiddy:
