Going to look at a bike Sunday

Not going to try and scare you with more horror stories, but if you've never owned a bike before I wouldn't plan on immediately starting to commute on one. I've also been riding 30+ years but am in the process of teaching another adult to ride. He isn't comfortable leaving the neighborhood and immediate area, let alone getting out on the highway with the cagers and 18 wheelers. Take things slow and learn how to ride properly. Take a class.

BTW, I wouldn't pay more than $400 for that bike in a non-running condition. Lots of miles and no telling what could be wrong with it.
