Hello all, Jason here from Mission Hills. I'm an old Honda collector of sorts, with my most recently acquired (and already my favorite) '81 CB750F Super Sport, a '84 CB650SC (currently torn down for an engine rebuild that is taking waaay too long to get finished), and an '80 CB400T (my first bike, hauls ass for a tiny engine). Been riding for about six months now.

[brakstad]

Welcome to the site! Not that I'm a binary geek or anything, but were you by any chance born in '69? Or mabye 69 has some other meaning to you :)

[Panic]

Hello guys and girls my name is Early. I live in Pacific Beach, CA and ride a Kawi Green ZX9R. I'm new to street bikes (Had it for about 2 months) but grew up on 2 strokes. I've rode with a few of the crew that does telagraph, and hope to try some track days some day.

[Melbell]

Hey guys, I'm Melissa. I ride an '03 ZX6RR. Newb to riding.. Only been riding for about 6 months now, but have been around sport bikes for quite a few years now (although I never cared much for them until recently). Originally from the bay area (San Jose to be exact), but for the last 6 months I've been living in Carlsbad, and soon moving to San Diego. Some crazy guy, named Tom (LonghornGSXR) recomended this site.. Just for future reference, you can blame him for bringing me here. =)

Nice ride! Welcome! Plenty of people riding pretty much every weekend. Just check back frequently to find out what's going on....

[rpmBrian]

Hey yall,

Just moved here in December from North Carolina (did my accent give it away?) Been out at Palomar about every weekend taking pictures. Don't have a bike right now since I sold everything before I moved out here and have been buying photography equipment instead (I could sell it all and easily buy a bike!).. but saving my pennies toward another bike as soon as I don't have to worry about the cost of groceries and rent.

Past bikes in order: (dont laugh... OK.. laugh) 88 Honda VTR-250, 91 Suzuki Katana 600, 97 Suzuki GSXR-750, 00 Yellow CBR F4, then an identical 00 Yellow CBR F4 (I'm a man of variety, what can I say).

I own and operate the following sites:
www.bossturbo.com/cbr (free how-to's for the CBR F4)
www.rpmtshirts.com (motorcycle and car t-shirts and photography)
www.beetees.com (cute animal t-shirts)

I look forward to meeting you guys at Mother's Cafe at top of Palomar and to seeing you all out there on the other end of my lens. :cheers:

Just moved back to SD somewhat recently from graduating. Lookin for another bike now since I've been outta the scene for a little bit.

[bigmike92117]

Hey fellas. Just wanted to intoduce myself. My name is Michael, but you can call me Mike; I respond to either. I've lurked on this site for nearly two years now, but I finally ended up meeting a couple of people from here recently at BuyMoto. Jae, Patrick, Bryant, and a guy named Jason. All good guys. I imagine just about everyone else is just as amiable in person as well. Hopefully I'll be able to make it out to a meet or something in the near future.

I'll see you around. :cheers: :banana:

Hello everyone,
Tiffany here, from the greatest city in the world, (San Diego) - just wanted to introduce myself a little but not too much. I have been riding streetbikes for about 2 years now, having sampled tote-goats, mopeds, and dirtbikes growing up I seem to have a general grasp of the whole riding concept....though everyday is a learning experience if you know what I mean (ie just when you think you're flying, some old guy on a Goldwing with his wife and luggage comes around the outside of you, with one hand on the bars, on your favorite most comfortable stretch of asphalt.) Anyhow, I try to go to as many trackdays as possible and am more than willing to get to know some of the gals to split hotel rates, driving, etc. I seem to be having trouble meeting girls that actually ride! In my lurking, everyone seems very nice, and rather entertaining.....I hope to meet some of you guys at trackdays or just round Pally or where ever ; ) :)

[Robert]

Welcome to the site:cheers:

[RockstarSMP]

I thought I joined this site a long time ago, but I just had to register so maybe not. Anyways, I'm Shawn, and I'm addicted. Dirt, street, you name it. I love the track, but haven't been in over a year... all my finances are going towards racing a mini-sprint car (midget) right now and it's sucking me dry. Supposedly I'll be racing a baja bug with a friend this year, but he's always full of it so we'll see if he gets it together.

I'm counting down the months till desert season again. October will be here soon enough and I can't wait to get back to Glamis. Till then it's riding at elevation: Big Bear & Corral Canyon.

By the way, I checked out the BuyMoto bbq this past Saturday for a bit. Good times, but I had to get back to work. For those of you I met, thanks for being so friendly...

Hi, I introduced myself in the noobie section. But in case people dont read that, my name is Eric. HI

[soundmann]

Hi,

I'm new to just about everything here: San Diego, UCSD, riding. I just moved from PA and bought a bike last week (Kawasaki Ninja 500) after having taken the MSF course in June.

Dave

[mjflagg]

Hey all, I guess this is a good place to start. To introduce myself, my name is Michael. I live near some of San Diego’s prime riding spots (Ramona) so I figured I’d pick up a 600RR. I’ve had my bike since a little after Thanksgiving last year. I ride a little over forty miles every work day and try to take my bike five days a week. Previous bike would be a KZ-400 in 1991 which I wrecked after six months of riding with the help of a cager with a few drinks in his system and in dire need of glasses. Other than that I’ve had three dirt bikes (Suzuki 185 Enduro, YZ-250, XR-250) in and shortly after high school.

[Robert]

Welcome and enjoy the site!

We are always down to ride except we are waiting on the dl 389 form from MSF course so i can take it into the DMV to be legit! Anyway, i will be around, anyone want to ride let us know!

[Twinky01]

Hey, I am new to the site, and wanted to introduce myself. I have only ridden for about 4 months total. Just got a new bike, but managed to total it in 3 days. Long story, ask I'll share it. I am fine, and hopefully will have a new bike in a couple weeks. Looking forward to learning more about riding, and doing some more riding myself. Hope to get to know some experienced riders along the way.

[247BlackOut]

Welcome :cheers:

So what's the sob story behind the accident? Glad you're okay though.

[Burn619]

Hey, I just signed up today but I've been riding for about 3 years now and regularly post on SoCalSporbikes. I had my bike worked on at Buymoto a while back and the guys there said to check this site out! What up!!!

[dcnoj]

Hello, everybody, yes details on story. Glad to hear that your o.k. atleast.

[Twinky01]

So here is what happened. Went on Deployment in Feb. Had been riding for a few months before that on my wife's R6. Came home, and went and bought a Honda 06 CBR600RR. Rode it for three days. I knew I was new so I was being very conservative. I have a buddy at work who invited me to go ride with him and on other. I told him I was new, and needed to take it slow, but I would like to go riding. So Saturday morning I got up and met him on 79. We all gassed up, and talked about the ride. I did not realize that where we were going until we got there. We went to Ortega, coming from the East side. So we stopped at the pull off at the bottom of the mountain. I was told (and had already decided) that I was to take it at my own pace. Don't try to keep up, we would meet at the look out. I had had the safety course, and an advanced rider course, so I at least knew the VERY basics. Of course new bike, and haven't ridden in six months, you can see where this is going. So we started out up the mountain. The ride up went great. They were waiting on me when I got there, but it was fun, and I was comfortable with the pace I took. We went down, and then were going to head up again. When we started, two bikes were waiting to pull out behind us. I hit the 25mph 180deg turn about a mile or so from the pull off. One of the bikers behind me came around me inside my lane. I moved to the inside of the turn to get away from him (yes I know rookie move), which left me on the outside of the turn at the top of the hill. I was already on the asphault on the far right side of the road. I didn't think I could make the turn back to the left with out dropping the bike, so I tried to do the quickstopping technique they show you in the course. I must have braked to hard, because in an instant it threw me into the pavement, and I saw a flash that was my bike slide by. It went over the side, and landed about 100' down (or so the towing company told me). As for me, I seperated my left shoulder, and pretty much went right into shock. The other biker stopped, he had been behind me, and a couple cars. They called the ambulance, and the rest is history. The bike was totalled, I am just lucky I wasn't with it. Lots of lessons learned on my part, but the most important, is that I need to get more seat time, before going somewhere like ortega.

[xiaoyin]

welcome aboard, twinky and burn! :)

Sounds like a rough accident... good to hear you're ok! I'm new myself.. I'd say seat time is definitely my biggest "need" as well.

[Crotch Rocket]

Darn! glad to hear you made it through alive, like you I just joined and have a new bike too, I pretty much have avoided riding with anybody else til now because I know how hard it would be to not ride her hard untill she's broke in.

Good luck! get back on the sadle again... :ninja:

[Twinky01]

Hey thanks man,

I will be back in the saddle as soon as all the insurance crap is taken care of. If I could do it again, I would at LEAST wait until my bike had been broken in. Ahhh hind site, it is a great thing. In the mean time you have safe riding, enjoy breaking your bike in!!

[cbrMike]

I been riding mostly with the socalsportrider guys for about 8 months now and herd this site come up a few times so figured I would check it out and register.My name is Mike and I ride a 04 RR and it is my first bike but I learned quick and hard =(. Well atleast I learned right lol.

Hey. I'm Scott but most people call me Yeti. I've been riding off and on for about 17 years. Raced a Yamaha FZ600 back when I was in college. Recently took time off bikes due to wife and kid. Back on for about 6 months now. I ride an R1100RT which I've been modifying to make it more "sporty." I'm on a few other forums but have been looking for a more "local" riders forum.

Hope to see you all out in the canyons and mountains. :rockon:

I have been riding streetbikes for about 2 years now, having sampled tote-goats, mopeds, and dirtbikes growing up I seem to have a general grasp of the whole riding concept....though everyday is a learning experience if you know what I mean (ie just when you think you're flying, some old guy on a Goldwing with his wife and luggage comes around the outside of you, with one hand on the bars, on your favorite most comfortable stretch of asphalt.) Anyhow, I try to go to as many trackdays as possible and am more than willing to get to know some of the gals to split hotel rates, driving, etc. I seem to be having trouble meeting girls that actually ride! In my lurking, everyone seems very nice, and rather entertaining.....I hope to meet some of you guys at trackdays or just round Pally or where ever ; ) :)

I know 3 Chix that actually ride if youre willing to meet them...
Jamee at Fun Bike Center (GSXR600)

Wut up guys. Just entered UCSD as a freshman and interested in the biker community. My name is Arthur and I ride an 04 yamaha R6 LE. Its silver with black flames. So yea.... wut up guys?

[Twinky01]

I have no intentions of it! Hoping to have a new bike soon, but the process is slow with insurance etc.

As for chicks riding, there is nothing better than a Good looking lady riding a bike. My wife rides a Yamaha R6 04'. When we were dating I remember the first time I saw her bike! She's now my wife, need I say more?

Anyway, hope you all have a great ride this weekend, wish i could be out there with ya! Be safe!

Hi everyone, I am new to this board but not to some of you. I hate to say I just recently moved back here to Seattle but rode with many of you for years. So I guess this will one of the only ways I can say hi and still hear what everyone is up to. I am gonna miss bike night and hanging out and hearing all the going on's. Also if any of you might ever be interested in the riding conditions up here in the northwest feel free to ask.

Hi all, been lurking for quite some time...I graduated from UCSD in June and have been meaning to make it out to some of the meetings. But of course I always forget.

See you guys around!

What what! Welcome, make yourself at home and be sure to check out the Texas section of the forum for track days, rides and such. :cheers:

[SilverRider]

What up people. I lurk on the socalsvrider board. Just ran into a local girl at Palomar and she told me about this site. Unfotunately she lowsided on Palomar right afterward and snaped her femur. She is in the hospital and should be out in a couple of days. But now i have a new place to lurk.

Ride and Smile,

[ToroRosso]

Word up y'all, I'm an Alumni of UCSD and remember being part of a group there called Hypercycles. I don't know if this is the same thing, but "hi" anyways. If you see a Silver Ducati with a number "16" on the side, be sure to say hi.

[1badboyy]

Hi, My name is Blythe and I just found this site today. I have been looking for a cool group of chaps to ride with, looks like I may have found that. Let me know when you want to ride, I'm available 24/7 unless it's cold as heck like today...lol

I think the hypercycles you were a part of was started by Jae and Bryant back in the day at UCSD and eventually turned into this forum. We're trying to keep the UCSD club going.:nerd:

[ToroRosso]

I remember Bryant. Anyone know what happened to him? Or John Kellar (sp?). Or Millan? If any of you know Millan, let him know there's a Silver Duc looking to take on his 916...yeah right. Anyways, awesome work with this forum, from what I've seen so far.

Bryant is still around. He's just got back from vacation otherwise he'd say hi! Millan went to the police academy (way to go bro!!!) and sometimes pops up on the site. Hopefully he will be doing track days again soon.

Welcome to the site and do a track day with us!!!

I'm JOe. 2nd Year. Matthews Appartment. It's dead over here. The motorcycle parking is filled with bicycles. Got my bike 5 days ago. Been riding everyday around town. White '95 CBR F3. Always up for a cruise. Will be riding much more after finals.

[CjrJAM]

Hey What up Joe :nerd:
Welcome!
Gotta love those F3's, I had two and was a huge fan.

[Fixcinater]

Hey all-


I'm Anthony. Met Bex at the LB Bike show as I was trying to find a replacement for my soon-to-be sole-less A* SMX boots.

Live in P.B., 22 (today!!) and working on a transfer to UCSD (hopefully spring '08) from City college. I like long walks on the beach, cuddling, and flowers. :rolleyes: Seriously, I'm from MN/WI/IA originally and finally found home here in SD. Digging it, yes, indeed.

Currently riding a '00 red ST2 Duc, but also have a slightly modded GS500 waiting for me to once again flog it, or that might be traded in towards an older Ducati 900SS/SP. No cage, commute on the bike or a fixed gear conversion bicycle.

I work at Point Loma Seafood, but am looking for something moto related.

Always looking for people to hang out/ride/have a brew/BBQ with, so yeah...hoping to have some time here after finals/the holidays to meet up with some like-minded peeps.

[xiaoyin]

Hello, welcome to the site, and Happy Birthday! :cheers:

(I know, I know, I'm a day late...)

Nice bikes you own there... I work just a few minutes from Pt Loma Seafoods - make it there about once a month for lunch with the co-workers - YUMM!

We always have random get-togethers posted on the board, feel free to come out and meet some of us! :thumbsup:

[CjrJAM]

I work at Point Loma Seafood
MMMMM! Calamari sandwich with that awesome bread!!!!!!
Oh by the way welcome and happy birthday!
:cheers:

[Fixcinater]

Thanks guys, I saw Bex at the shop today, I had pulled up right behind her cage in PB earlier in the day and she remembered the goofy-ass windshield setup on the ST2. I'll be done with finals next week so I'm going to try to make it over to the party.

The key techniques to get in and out of PLSF faster when it is really busy are either calling in the order ahead of time with an accurate time of when you can be there to pick it up, or grabbing somebody that is working by the smoked fish counter.

Or, wear your helmet in and I'll be sure to help you.

[sumlouzhegai]

Hi guys, name's Phu (foo). Beginner rider and such, no bike as of yet, but planning on getting one. Hope to meet you guys. =]

Hey guys, how's it going? I've been riding for about 6 months. Going to try and check out the group ride on sunday.

My name's Eric, and I ride a 05 zx6r.

[flare]

welcome to the forum eric. c u sunday

[FeeLin_bLue]

just want to take this little time to introduce myself, the name is tuan and ive been riding for about a year now but never get the chance to ride with anyone. i met a few members of hypercycles like 6 months ago and they told me about this site so i figure i join to meet new ppl and get pointers and experience. i was on the sunday ride 3/11 and it was great.

[scabenoja]

Just wanted to introduce myself, as I should have done before. My name is Steve, I'm a firefighter and I'm from Santa Monica. I've been riding for 10 years, doing track days for the last 4 or so. I've had a number of bikes, mostly Hondas (Superhawk, 954rr, 1001rr). My wife also rides and she's had an SV 650, CBR 600F4I, and presently rides a 05 600rr. My current bike is a Triumph Daytona 675, which I'm trying to sell (see classifieds). I'm looking forward to interacting with everybody.

[brakstad]

Welcome to Hypercycles Steve. Hope to see you at the track in the near future. Pahrump Memorial Day weekend?? Should be a lot of Hypercycles folks there.

[scabenoja]

Sounds great! I've been wanting to try out tracks other than Willow Springs and Buttonwillow. Anybody been to Thunderhill?

[brakstad]

T-hill is a lot of fun for sure. While you are up there, Reno and Infineon are excellent tracks as well!

[becks66]

Hello everyone! My name is Eric. New to this forum but have been riding off and on for about 20 years. Current bike is a Triumph Daytona 675. Haven't had a chance to get around in here yet but I thought I should at least introduce myself.

My name is Candice and I don't have a bike yet. Shoot, I don't even know how to ride one yet. HAHA! I'm looking to start classes this summer. I finally was able to talk my boyfriend (R1 SD) in letting me ride too. I'm tired of being a passenger! He even got me a helmet (see avatar) for Christmas!

I just want to say Hi to everyone on the forum and I'm looking forward to getting to learn from all of you!

Been lurking around the forums for the past few weeks. I guess ill reintroduce myself. Names Gary. I helped run the UCSD Hypercycles club about 4-5 years ago with Bryant. I used to ride a F4 (the very bike the greg used to race with) and 929 (yellow / black), and raced at WSMC with Bryant on an F4.


Just bought an 07 CBR 1000RR. Ill probably ride mainly on the track, but ive been itching to ride palomar!

Welcome back Gary... If you used to hang with Bryant then I'm sure you're an alright guy cause Bryant is top notch.

I look forward to riding with you sometime. Don't know what your schedule is but I try to stay away from Pally on the weekends. Anyways, regardless of when we go, we've been needing a good group ride lately.

don't do anything stupid on the bike, like wheelies through campus :whistle: and you're good to go.

you should meet up with some people on upcoming group rides and events. If your schedule is permitting, I'd try to hit up the Tuesday night bike night at Togo's on Miramar Rd. at 7

I'm a new rider and just moved to SD I'm kinda short .I've been riding my SV650s for a few weeks now but I feel that I still need to shave my seat to be more comfortable at stops so does anyone know where I could get my seat shaved down? Help please!

[sdtraviesosd]

welcome to the forum. I think you'll find there are a lot of knowledgeable people here, I however, am not one of them. I'm sure someone will pop in soon and give you an answer. You might want to start a thread on where people get this type of job done.

[247BlackOut]

Welcome to the site! What year SV650 do you have? I'm pretty sure 1st gen seats are different from 2nd gen. I usually find all my answers on www.socalsvriders.org Check out this thread here (http://socalsvriders.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=452&highlight=shaved).

Honestly, I think the best way to become more comfortable with you bike is to ride more often and practice practice practice. Let me know if you ever want to go ride around town, I need to take my SV out more often as well. :p

What you have an SV, no way I thought that was Mikeys as much as he rides it lol


Anways welcome motochica and yes practice practice practice and get use to it is the only way to overcome something that is uncomfortable on your bike. My brother was too short for his bike but he rode with it enough to overcome the not able to touch ground very well at stop lights.

Hi guys and gals.. I signed up a few weeks ago, and have been lurking since....but finally after harrassing multiple annonomous members through YAHOO, AND MSN's, I finally got hold of a guy who knew a guy who has a myspace who showed me the secret hand shake and a few magical words that will now allow me to finally post..hahaha..

so now Im here and want to say howdy..

Im on a cruiser.. so Im not really a fast and furious type.. but I am hoping to find a few people to ride with from time to time..

Im a fairly new rider.. since the beginning of summer.. so im looking for the somewhat slower paced rides maybe this weekend?

Oh.. Hi Bonnie... I talked with you earlier this summer about possibly buying a 1300 VTX at FBC....

since then Ive decided on the 2300cc Triumph Rocket III.. hahaha.. quite a jump.. but fuuun...:)

looking forward to meeting some of y'all soon...

Hey everyone! Just got approved by admin. They must've been swamped with emails, work, life, etc. since I registered a few weeks ago. I met a group of HyperCycle members at Ki's Restaurant in Cardiff then and they recommended me to this group of great people!

I just started riding a few months ago when I decided to take the MSP course as part of a graduate assignment. A few days after the course, I went to get my M1 license. A few days after that, I owned a 08 Ninja 250. Funny how that happens! Now, I'm on this mod obsession: chopping the tail, exhaust, jet kit (hopefully I'll be done for a while unless I can find a better screen to lower turbs on the fwy).

[sdtraviesosd]

beautiful! Makes me want to get one for the GF and steal it from her and use it! haha.

[seearef50]

Sup all.

Where to begin? Well, I live in San Diego and I have lived here since I moved to the States when I was half a year old. I don't know what it is, maybe the nice weather that allows for being outside, but since I was little I was always riding my bicycle. It was the best thing ever and the feeling of two wheels and the air compares to nothing else. For a good half decade I have been planning to get a sportbike. Hell, i want one so bad and it is pretty much a dream for me. I am a student at UCSD and I am 18 years old. Although at my young age, some people might see that as a bad thing, but I am informed and have done due dilligence. I realize that biking is not some everyday thing, it is a culture and... i'm ranting .... the point is I am getting a sportbike and look forward to being part of the community!

Things i have planned:
....safety course/license this summer or sooner when I find time.
....Get the cbr 600rr this summer.
(I know, I am on the forum a little early. )

:cheers:

[GPTECHMAN]

The rr is a sick bike, and ur not early ur just studying up ;)

[seearef50]

Yup. I decided the rr would be the best choice based on other people. Although I am open to new ideas. A lot of people were telling me to get a 250! But more people say the 600 is ok to start on and the 250 would get boring.

Welcome!

I think that a SV650 is a great starter bike, while we are talking first bikes. If you start on a bike that has less HP and is a little less agressive (well maybe a hair less agressive), you will master the skills much faster. A 600 supersport is a ok bike to start on, but thats it. Its an "ok" bike to start on, but a 250 or an sv650 are great bikes to start on.

No matter what you decide, you will be stoked on it and thats whats important! :thumbsup:

[seearef50]

I think that a SV650 is a great starter bike, while we are talking first bikes.

Nice! Naked bikes are definately on my potential list. You just might change my opinion with some more convincing. I have till summer to soak up every fact I can. Squid! :squid: lol

[fherjohn]

sv650's sound mean too

[seearef50]

sv650s. Nice.

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk87/buffmuffins/sv1000angle-2.jpg

Got my hopes up! This looks like the sv1000s come to think about it.

[247BlackOut]

Welcome to the club! I :wub: my 250 and sv650. I'll never get bored of them. Also, if you buy a 250, they generally hold their value and you can sell it for what your bought it for when you're ready to upgrade.

If you're interested in the fairings for the SV, they can be purchased and added on...and they come standard on the 2008 if I'm not mistaken. Also, it's a good idea to get your license while you're under 21 because once you hit 21, they up the price for the MSF course. Oh! And before you think about buying your bike, think about buying gear so you can be safe out there! www.buymoto.com :thumbsup:

If you want to talk to someone about buying a bike beyond their capabilities talk to me... I highly encourage getting a smaller bike BUT it definitely doesn't mean a 250, then upgrading to the full sport bike. I got my license a year ago and I've finally started riding because of some... ahem.. complications.

Some people say they don't want to bother with the hassle of buying and selling their starter bike but your learning curve will be sooo.

Welcome!

Thanks guys for the warm welcome. Yeah, so during dinner with my parents tonight, my dad thought it would be cool to have a bike and maybe he might get one. I can't believe that! Of all the people and I swear he would always say, no! it is too dangerous.

Now I just gotta work on my mom. She will get over it when I am out of the house. :cheers:

So, I've been lurking for a couple weeks, and since I'm going to be heading to the superbike race this weekend, figured I'd say hello.

I've been riding for about 6-7 months now, first bike is an SV650s, which is great. I've lived in SD all my life until this month, when I moved up to LA. So on the one hand, it sucks because I'm not able to make it out to bike nights or anything, but on the other, I'm closer to the tracks around here. :D

So that's my little intro.

Btw, if anyone knows anyone up here, I'm trying to find some bike nights and peeps that ride up here.

[Fixcinater]

Hey Wanker.

Welcome to riding, and Hy-Cy. Not to be confused with High Side. Just watch lanesplitting in LA, it can be fun but just remember your (and your bike's) ((AND PHYSICS!!)) limits while doing so. SV-S is a fantastic bike, keep it until you are absolutely bored to death with railing on it full throttle everywhere and cannot stand to ride it any longer. 90% of people upgrade too fast, IMO. I've had my GS500 for going on 8 yrs now (partially because I got a Ducati as a 2nd bike), and I still don't feel like I'm out of power unless I'm wanting to do something I shouldn't be (ie, some stupid pass, or 6th gear/100mph wheelies.

Check out www.burntheedge.com for people in OC/LA to ride with. They are mainly Bandit-based, but I've hung out with them a few times (my parents are in Beverly H1lls), and they are quite welcoming, especially to other Suzuki riders. A twin always sets off a 4-cylinder group meeting, anyway.

[seearef50]

Welcome!

I think that a SV650 is a great starter bike, while we are talking first bikes. If you start on a bike that has less HP and is a little less agressive (well maybe a hair less agressive), you will master the skills much faster. A 600 supersport is a ok bike to start on, but thats it. Its an "ok" bike to start on, but a 250 or an sv650 are great bikes to start on.

No matter what you decide, you will be stoked on it and thats whats important! :thumbsup:

I am such a sucker. haha. I did some more research and a search lead me to buy a sv650s. I am officially getting it tomorrow. Hopefully I didn't jump into this too quick.
:squid: <-------- I know what this means too. :P

Feels like flying a spaceship!

Although it can be hard keeping up with the bigger bikes, I'm happy getting experience on this bike. I'd definitely recommend it to any other first timers.

[Cali sun rider]

Im Erik. New to the site. Looking for a bike. Ive ben riding quads and dirtbikes since I was pretty much walking. Im 19 and looking to getting back into street riding again. I used to have a 01 GSXR when I lived in arizona but had to sell it to move out to Kentucky. Now Im in Cali and figured that the weather here is perfect year round to ride all the time and want to save on gas. If anyone knows of good deals on an R1 or R6 that would be great. Yamaha is my preference but Im willing to settle for a Honda CBR. Thanks and I cant wait to ride with some of you.

hey,

names ming, new to the site but was told to register by some guy at Ralphs as i go to UCSD. I ride an 07 cbr1000rr, and for those of you who are curious, yes that is my first bike and yes i did get into a lowside within the first 2 months (some guy cut me off when he decided at the last minute he needed to get onto the freeway, didn't stop either kept on going, doubt he saw me.) luckily all damages were cosmetic except a complete tear of my ACL, miniscus, and minor impact frature to the fomoral condyls. But as im waiting for my surgeory to fix my exploded knee i still ride and love it. I'm hoping to get more involved with the community.
