Wow!
You all are GREAT!
Yep, I dump money into the stang...
My cars have all been stick shift (is there any other way?) ;D
I plan on driving it in good weather the way i drive my car in the rain.
SLOW AND EASY.
Like I said, i'm actually a little scared (i know...wuss) but I think that's a good thing
in this case.
I'm taking the MSF course on Sept 16, 17, & 18 but may go ahead and get my bike now and
ride around the yard or something.
I have a buddy that builds custom choppers (
www.gangsterchoppers.com) and he has already
told me I can pilot the 800cc yamaha cruiser he bought for his wife after i pass the msf course.
Here's what he said...
"To many new riders try to go fast on any bike and end up in trouble. The key is to get enough time/miles to where the foundations are ingrained in your mind to the point that it?s habit. Until then I recommend being extremely cautious and slow on any type of bike. The sport bikes happen to be less forgiving in this area then do cruisers. Many more new sport bike owners riding over there heads then on any other type of bike. With all that said, if you think you like the sv and it will fit all your needs, get it. Same thing goes with the shadow. Bottom line is you are the one that?s going to ride the thing and who?s going to pay for it."
I'm just trying to decide whether to get a sv or a honda shadow spirit.
I just think i'd be happier on the sv..i like the riding position compared to the cruisers and sport bikes.
I need to feel "in control" and I when I sit on diff bikes i don't feel as "in control" on the cruisers as i do
on the sv's.
Ya'll are a great group!
