but do you REALLY care what bike every rider is on? yes I'm sure you care that he/she is safe... but the TYPE of bike doesn't really matter. or at least shouldn't.

I for one could care less what you ride... the fact that you ride, and more importantly HOW you ride... is important to me.


I too want to try instructing... eventually... need about 60k more under my belt before I even start pursuing it.

Um...the "yeas" never even read your entire post....trust me,I know these guys.

Oh and you can shit can the "I'm so much better than you because I teach MSF" attitude as well. Oh and I took MSF AND have assisted a few times back in the day. Whoopie Doo!!! You're like an elementary school basketball coach trying to take credit for Michael Jordan's NBA career. Yeesh...

very good analogy, and just like in bsaketball, if the basics aren't correct your not gonna be much of a player.

and you learn the basics of riding alot better on a beginner bike then an SS bike.

and yeah it's on every forum i visit, and stickied (by the mods for some strange reason, just like here) on every one, wonder why? vs your teachings of ????


so what kinda knowledge do you bring to the table besides your obvious wit and charm?

Yeah and you can't learn the basics unless your parents buy you a Lil' Tykes basketball hoop set and then FORBID you to play on the big boy court... yea,you'll be ready for the NBA in no time like that!

Of course,they sticky it,I never said the advice was bad douche-nozzle,I said the presentation is too sanctimonious!!!

Oh little ol' me? I don't know much of anything about...what you call them again? Oh yea motorcycles.... nope,I just started riding day before yesterday...

man another good analogy, wouldn't the NBA's be like riding SS bikes? vs a beginner bike? i mean there's not alot faster on the roads, esp. for the $. so should a person start in NBA's or in the junior league's?

as for ever person taking the MSF, well it prolly would be a good idea, and who's to say there's not legistion being looked at that might go that direction, esp. w/ the new nanny director in charge.

if i remember you claimed to have been in the military, is that where you took MSF? cuz it's mandatory for all military riders, and sportbikes deaths have been so bad recently, that the military is now mandating sportbike riders (not cruiser riders) to take a 2nd class, still looking for details on that one.

fact 90% of motorcycle DEATHS (not injuries or crashes) are people who are self taught or taught by family and friends. crazy odds.

what are the odds that a young person on a SS person is gonna crash? ask your insurance agent what full coverage is, and get back to me.


as for starter bike, crazy how the most of the world, who taking biking more seriously have tiered licensing, where you have to start w/ a small cc bike as a begineer bike, vs. the wonderful USA where a then noob like yourself could get a beast like a VMAX (the rebuttal for " i made it " is in the contested post.

lucky for you my knowledge is 2x yours, i started riding the day before yesterday.
