I'll get tired of it'' to me those are completely BS and retarded answers... and it's hard for me not to say so.

in reality no... I have no say in what he/she spends their money on... but if you don't want my advice don't ask. if you just want someone to support your preconceived choice... stand in front of a fuck'n mirror and ask away!

in the end... that's the only one who really cares anyhow.
Oh I agree with that...if someone asks...I'm just wondering....who the fuck asked? I mean did you actually read that long ass,sanctimonious,egomaniacal,load of shit? BTW I guarantee that YOU do not meet his criteria for buying that super sport that you want buddy. In fact,according to him you were an IDIOT for buying the bike you did get!!! How does that feel? Were you a fucking idiot for buying your ZZR for a first bike? What were YOUR "RETARDED" answers and "BS" excuses?

What really kills me is WHO cleared these guys to buy the super sport bikes they ride on now? Who gets to decide when someone IS ready for a SS bike? What are the requirements? Who gets to set the standards? This guy?

NAW... yeah I get ya... and honestly I didn't even read those long posts... it's been preached way too much... and honestly... like I said i could care less what you start on.


truth is... the advice is a very safe aproach trying to get people to realize what they're getting into... the problem is the advice generalizes... and you can't do that with motorcycles or people. every person is diffrent.

as for who asked... well no one yet... but go to any large froum and there's at least 3 or 4 new threads monthly if not weekly asking about what bike they should start on.

I think the author was just hope'n to type it once and blanket the majority of newbies...

HA I knew it you !!! Seriously,if you are VERY,VERY,VERY bored read it and tell me what you think. PM me if you don't want to upset your new BFF!!!

Oh and I think that the author just thought he found somewhere new to post his long winded dissertation on why he knows best and everyone else is stupid if they don't agree with him.

tig... with 600+ post a day now I doubt I'll be getting bored enough to read all that...

but I'll make an effort tonight.

but like I said... I think it's the BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY standpoint... I think he knows not everyone is going to listen to him... but the ones that do... will "probably" be better off.

the thing is they have nothing to loose (other than some douchbags opinion of them) by starting small. but it's impossible to give general advice like that and have it apply to everyone.

I think they guy just assumed that we may have some new riders or wanna be's and is offering up some advice. knowing most won't take it.



Oh... and Racer-X... meet Tigger

It's just that this isn't a NOOB haven. Heck,I went back to and every other post is some noob asking questions. That is one of my favorite things about this board almost zero new riders! I mean if he would have taken the time to read some of the threads in this sub forum,he would have seen that this shit has been covered ad nauseum already and that there were almost no "what should I get for my first bike?" threads here.

Ok I'm taking deep breaths......alright cool...

Hey RacerX welcome to TWFix!
