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

-
Great bikes everyone. Thanks for all the advice as well. I'm already signed up for the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course. It was highly recommended by a number of riders and the guy I bought it from. Best to get some good training before taking to the streets. I've done a lot of road cycling and it's almost as dangerous.

I'm happy I got a bike I can grow into and doubt I'll ever be able to out perform it. :)

Yeh no worries.
Rip me apart.
GO for your LIFE!

Il stick by my words.
Ever owned an older ducati?
Clearly you dont know what your in for.

Put up or shut up.
I never said they were ugly,bad handling,
i just said
Reliability wise,there a horrible bike.
Whats wrong in saying that?

Monsters out of everything are probably the
most reliable in there line.

But i know for a fact,916's,999',998,749,
Are electrical nightmares.

Just like youl hear somebody here wanting to toast
a chevy with there mopar on the street, i like to hand
it to ducatis with my hayabusa.
There is NO difference.

Yet,im a dumb ***.

gfy.
Loser.

a bike (ducati or other) is only as reliable as the owners mechanical skill will allow
 
As a friend, if this is your first bike do yourself and your loved ones a favor and take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation Course. You will thank me later. As for bikes, i own two right now. One is a 90 model Goldwing with matching trailer and a newly aquired 1985 frame with an 80" S&S motor Harley that i traded for. It's for sale. It's a sweet bike that will jump to 100 mph right now. Chain drive with a set of new forks and a WCC 21" front wheel. I can send pics. It's a fun bike but the Wing is my style of riding.

Be careful man.

Dress for the slide not for the ride.

I will stick to four cheels and seat belts as i have lost too many loved ones on bikes through the years.
 
I've toyed with the idea of buying a bike before but none of my family members/girlfriend will let me.

My girlfriend's father owns an 07 Suzuki Boulevard 700 and rides around like the big bafoon that he is on it, making my girlfriend and her mom worried sick about him all the time.
It also breaks down a lot, which seems weird to me, since it can't have very high mileage.

If I were to buy a bike though, it would have to be a Ducati 996.
Those bikes are just incredibly sweet looking.
 
2005 Electra Glide Standard 51,000 miles ..... Love to ride, after 3rd grear everything changes, Its my release from every day life.

cliff. those are great looking bikes. my dad had one of those when i was a kid.
 
The 100th Anniversary Sportster 1200C with Screaming Eagle set up is actually my third pure street bike. I've also had 3 dual purpose Suzuki's. The first two street bikes were a1983 Yamaha Seca 750 and a 1980 Goldwing. Currently in my garage besides the Harley are my two sons Kawasaki KLX 110, Yamaha TTR230, a mint condition 1979 Yamaha GT80, and three 1986 Suzuki quads, (LT185, LT230, and 230 QuadSport).

Anyhow fellas,this is my non mopar adrenaline fix.
My 2007 suzuki hayabusa.
I bought it brand new cuz i couldnt find a 99 model copper original that
i wanted.
Raced it the minute it was run in at 1600km on the clock.

It was standard,my best time is a 10.9 at 139 mph.

I was pretty happy with that cuz i cant ride for S***!
I just wanted to do a 10 anything!
1st pass was a 11.01!
An thought the 10 would be in the bag.
Took me another 7 passes before i did it haha!

I havent raced it since i put the pipes on it an tune,
But il let yous know how it goes anyhow.
Im hoping for around 143 mph. Wel see.

Nice!......if I was going to buy another bike, it would be an older 996. That's one sexy *** bike! Just remember to always stay alert.....you can't let yourself go off into "daydream-land" when riding a bike; there's too many lousy-driving losers out there who will T-bone you, turn left in front of you, change lanes into you ('cuz they're too lazy to turn their fat neck) etc.
Remember also......look left and right before you take off from a green light, don't ride in a vehicle's blind spot, and always "expect the worst" from people in any given situation......people turning left in intersections is one of the worst I'd say. Awesome!......best of luck! Here's my old Kawis......
