Who here is into bikes??? Just got my first one

I agree with everything WildCat said. I have been riding for over 40 years everything from solid frame mini bikes to late model sport bikes. I had my last bike up to a couple years ago.

An elderly lady decided to turn right from the left lane while my son and I occupied that space!! I locked up the rear tire and was sliding sideways while staring at the approaching side of her car!! Somehow by the grace of God, we didn't collide but that was enough to scare me. It would have been bad enough if I was hurt and couldn't provide for my family, but if my 12 year old son would have been injured, I would never have been able to forgive myself. I sold it shortly thereafter.

Bottom line. Enjoy your bikes but be careful. There are people at home that are waiting for your safe return.
