I'm really not surprised about it. What percentage of riders would rather pop a wheelie than drag a knee. Probably a pretty big number.

I passed it on to the locals, some of them know the owner. We will see if it changes.

Speaking of that. I'm on Hwy 29 today about 9 in the morning coming home and I see an RC51 coming in the next lane. (wearing jeans, short sleeve, and a $100 POS helmet) He waives to me from a good distance and I start to way back and this jackass pulls up the front end and looks at me as if I'm suppose to do the same. So instead of sticking by whole arm out to way like normal I decide one finger would be more appropriate.

Im gonna have to say yes since I bought my bike before I had a license or insurance. Of course I was already signed up for the msf (didnt ride until after I took the course) and I called my insurance company after the deal was finished.

who gives a shit? really? turns out we're still the land of the free for three more weeks. let them advertise however the hell they want. and seriously, who EVER visits a website before they actually go to the dealer?

Eh I care. There's already states cracking down on sportbikes and idiotic politicians talking of limiting the size/power of them in this country and elsewhere.
A dealer representing two of the biggest motorcycle makers promoting the type of idiotic behavior that gets newbs killed and good riders targeted by cops is bad for everyone. This could easily get spun as "TONIGHT AT ELEVEN, KAWSUKI AND SUZAKEE, TWO OF THE BIG CROTCHSCOOTERROCKETS MAKERS ARE TELLING NEW RIDERS TO RUN FROM POLICE ON THEIR WEBSITE, FULL STORY AFTER THE WEATHER"

turns out they'd probably do that anyway. politicos are all about controlling your life through legislation. dumbasses'll probably bankrupt the planet if they keep it up. and btw the power is already limited in this country thanks to our idiotic emissions regulations. new bikes show up so lean i wouldnt even want to ride one until it had at least a pciii

the problem is most new riders are very impressionable... they think it's cool and everyone does it... it's the wrong impression to give... and extreemly irresponsible for the dealership to advertise that... |
