The good thing is REALIZING that you would make bad choices with a bike. I really want one soon but I need to know I'm not going to do anything reckless.clutchCTRL!Move with a purpose.- 1991 325iX 4dr/5spd- 1976 2002 SlickTop/2.7i M20/G260- 2000 323i AT2016 Mazda CX3 Sport AWDComment

Thats why I sold all mine. Too hard to resist being a squid, plus there were a few close calls in traffic that will make you think long and hard next time you go for a rideComment

I held off for as long as I could but finally bit the bullet and picked up a bike. Well, all the parts to a bike. I'm hoping that having a horrifically underpowered bike will keep me from doing too much stupid stuff.84 325e - 91 325i - 92 318 touring - 91 Trans Am - 01 S4 avant - 03 S-type R - 96 F350 - 15 SS - 84 Biturbo - 91 Defender

I have owned a few bikes. Crotch rocket, cruiser and a dirtbike. At some point I have either dumped or came very close to dumping every one of them. I have a heavy foot at times, my wrist.....well, you get the idea. I want another one though.-Andy

I do too but they don't make the greatest long distance bikes. :)
My room mate is a mechanic at a bike shop and has said a few times; Ride like everyone on the road is trying to hit you. It won't save you from wrecking, but at least you'll be prepared when you go down.84 325e - 91 325i - 92 318 touring - 91 Trans Am - 01 S4 avant - 03 S-type R - 96 F350 - 15 SS - 84 Biturbo - 91 Defender

Getting a Ducati is punishing your bank account. Utterly not worth it.
I promised that I would never die, that was enough to satisfy my BFF, been riding ever since. If you had gotten a Trail90 instead of your scooter-thing you could get up to 40 easy without boring out/swapping motors. They're great for your sort of commute. Stephen got his for $150 but it needs work, mine was $500 running perfectly. I absolutely adore it.Alpha Team Inductee
