Default Blog about learning to ride in Korea

Well, I don't know how many people here plan on riding in Korea, but there are a lot of foreigners here and expect many more to come. I wrote up a blog and plan on continuing posts. If you or anyone you know needs info, I tried to be as complete as possible. None of this is for profit or anything, but it's my bit of meaningful contribution so pass it on. It's a lot of redundant info if you're already familiar with riding. Any feedback would help, too!

I'm in Korea to teach English. I'm leaving this August. The reason I'm on a CBR forum is because my original intention was to buy an F4i, but I couldn't find any in good enough condition and in doing as much research on the F4i's as possible before buying it I found the moderation to be excellent and contributions on this forum to be well worth reading and contributing to so I decided to stick around.

Don't worry, the R1 will be sold before I leave and if all goes as planned I will probably be on a CBR by next season (or this fall if I can find a good enough deal ). Honda's build progression philosophy really appeals to me as well as the reputation of how reliable they are. And hey, even if I'm not on a CBR, riding brings a lot of similar minded people together as well as information that isn't always just brand specific.

I was in Korea at Camp Humphrey and HOLY CRAP literally Koreans are the worst drivers in the world hands down! A red light is ignored most of the time. They don't watch for anyone on the road. It is terrible. I almost ran over a guy in an egg car (they really look like eggs) because he swerved in front of my humvee
