Tu250x

i had an FZR600. sold it. miss the damn thing but dont miss a damn thing about it... strange.
I just miss the riding.

I have an fzr600, I have thought about selling it because insurance is so much for me. But I feel like I would miss riding to much.

[priapism]

I had this when I was 16 years old. 125cc with about 30hp.


Now I don't feel safe with less then 4 wheels on the tarmac.

Sweet! Is that a 2-stroke? We don't get the little SMs here. I have a Husky SM510R, love it.

Yes it is. It's basicly the same engine as cr125. A 16 years old are allowed to drive a 50cc with top speed of 45km/h or a 125cc with max 15hp (with a licence) in Norway.
When I drove my husky, sm510 was my big dream, but I never bought one because we have to take a new licence to drive more then 125cc.

my insurance was only 20 bucks a month and my driving record was shit. how old are you and what coverage do you have? maybe lower your coverage.

Good record, bare minimum coverage, I was 20 when I signed up but just turned 21 a few weeks ago, alstate said it should go down a lot when I turn 21. I am paying $750 a year.

mine was only like 20 a month. :-) Progressive on minimum everything.

I need some advice, currently picked up a 2000 gsxr 750, i replaced some blown fuses that it had, now the fuses are good and not blowing anymore, but once i start the bike (everything works) and engage first gear or any gear it will die.. i took the fairing out and looked for any damaged wire/short but cant find anything... any advice?

Make sure the kickstand is up. Suzuki has a little button that prevents it from moving if its not pressed. I found out the hard way because I had a 04 750 that I thought was having clutch issues, I even replaced the clutch to have the same issue!

Leaning more towards a Triumph Street Triple at this point. First and foremost probably a Ninja 250 or some odd "learners" bike that'll be my second/refresher and probably my wife's after. That and I can afford one before December 2013 ;)

[Nairb]

My first bike: 1981 Yamaha XJ550 - 14k miles, needs a little work, but overall a good bike.

[Erik]

I love that G450X. I would love to have a Dirt bike. Not very high on my priority list at this point in my life.

Newest addition to the garage, '99 BMW R1100RT-P. The P is for police, it's ex-California Highway Patrol. CHiPs! Predictably, its nickname is Ponch.
