Thanks guys! All of these are great tips! I will try!

BTW, I put the money down on the bike last Friday, got an HJC (D.O.T. & Snell) helmet, and a pair of Joe Rocket gloves, and I ordered a Joe Rocket Jacket as well yesterday. Meeting the owner at AAA on Thursday to sign the bike over. Then it's a trip to the shop for a checkup and all-fluid replacement on Friday, DMV for my license Saturday morning, and ridding all day Saturday...... Can't wait... I am so excited I can barely work at work... BTW, I am starting MSF on July 6th...until then I will be super careful!

 

Congratulations, man! Sounds like you're all set up.
I'd be pretty stoked, too.

 

I know, right? The last thing I remember being this excited about was the birth of my son and getting laid for the first time..... I mean I rode bikes until I was about 10 (I am 30 now and haven't touched a bike since until I test drove the one I am getting on Thursday), but a 50CC dirt bike is not exactly the same as a 600cc speed bike...

 

Funny. But I hope all goes well with the wife. I think alot of us have the same problem. The biggest thing is to show her and educate her that you CAN be safe on a bike. It isn't just a death sentence. My wife HATES my bike, but she understands that I am a good rider and I dont do stupid stuff (that she knows of ) However show her how good and fun it can be.

 

Today is the big day. Picking up the bike! Can't wait...it's killing me...

 

Nice! Congrats on the purchase - toss some pics up of her when you get her home.

 

OK....just rode the bike from the seller's home to the bike shop to have it inspected and checked out.... I had three different orgasms on the way...

 

trust me bro i know how you feel. i brought my 900rr home in december, and took it for its first ride on valentines day!!!! it was cold but worth it!!! i told my girlfriend that atleast i got to spend some time with my newest girlfriend. she got mad but like any good woman, got over it real fast and couldnt wait for me to take her for a ride.

 

Yeah......OK......I'd be single by now had I done that on Valentine's Day...

 

Hahah - well now you have two women in your life so they'll both have to understand and make sacrifices.
