handbook for motorcycle basic rider course

what kinda hog you wanna get?

[lilkender]

I'm going to start with something that I can afford to drop in the road; it also has to be light enough for me to set it upright! In the end though, a cruiser, nothing too fast. I know most bikes (especially choppers) will be too big for me. And I don't know if I have storage space in my parking lot.

I've never successfully driven a manual-transmission car, but I'm going to give the motorcycle course a try and I'll see how it goes...

It sounds like you want something 350ish, mebbe 500cc

I hear tell that there are some people who drive stick fine but can't shift on motorcycles. Presumably that goes the other way too.

There is a gentleman across the alley from the place I work who is a motorcycle parts recycler. He sometimes puts bikes together for people. You want I should see what kinda deal he could put together for you?

Thanks, but I don't have the money to buy anything yet. I'm jumping on this class now because it fills up really quickly, and if I don't now I'd have to wait til next year.
