Introduce Yourself

I keep being asked for the CAPTCHA but i'm not seeing the question anywhere?

I also had a problem when I wrote an article. I spent a long time writting it, used the split summary, and when I hit save, my summary was gone and only my content appeared. Please help?!

What's up? I just bought my first bike and took it out for the first time today. I had a blast but for some reason my right wrist is killing me now. Could it be because of over use since it is the throttle side? I do have carpal tunnel. In no way does this discourage me though. I cant wait to read about every1 elses adventures.

Hello, i found this website researching the Ninja250 and Buell Blast, liked it, and decided to stick around.

My name is Daniel and i am a US Airforce enlistee in California. I have never ridden a bike and till recently always had too many fears (mostly costs) regarding them to get one. Thanks to a couple people i am deployed with right now, those fears are gone and i got plenty of time to research before i come home.

I am 23 years old come April2011, 6'3 and weigh 160pounds. Yes i am a toothpick, its the ridiculous metabolism i have that keeps me so thin. 4 months of 3 hours in the gym a day and bout 120g protein well over 3.5k calorie diet, i gained 10 pounds. And i only said that to justify why i am so light.

Not really sure why bikes interest me so much, since i really dont care what kind of car i have long as it has good MPG. I have been researching for a couple days so far, and my interest grows deeper.

Aloha everyone.

My name is Richard, but you can call me Zim. I live in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, where we have four seasons and three of them suck, and have for all of my eighteen years. I've never sat on more than a 250cc four wheeler, but I have the desire for a two-wheeled beauty of my own. Plus, I'd rather drive a five speed over an automatic any day!

I've only been lurking for a few days, but in that time, I've noticed that all of the veteran riders suggest a MSP from the local training site. The only reason I'm not already signed up for a BRC is that the PA MSP hasn't updated their schedule to 2011 yet. -_- Thankfully, PA is one of those states that will give students their 2-wheel license endorsement after successful completion of the BRC, so I dont have a test to fret about. *whew*

Hey!

From the research I've done, I'm planning on getting a Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
I'm still wondering about whether I should buy new or used. I live in the Chicagoland area, so if anyone knows a good deal, I'd love to hear about it :)

Well, I am supposed to post here because I don't want to lurk...
I am a student in Salt Lake City, UT that is considering the purchase of my first Motorcycle.
So, I might as well ask my newbie questions here..
During my initial research into my first bike a friend suggested a Kawasaki Conours. I love traveling long distances on two wheels and my favorite travels have all been self supported bicycle trips. I like the Concours because it seems like it would be nice to commute to work (I will be moving to San Diego this year) and on the weekends throw some bags on and hit the road. I also like that they are inexpensive and from my understanding, reliable.
However, they have 1000cc engines and I am concerned that due to my size (6'1" 150lbs) and lack of experience it may be too much displacement for me.
I know my limits and drive/ride conservatively, can I pull something like this off?

i am a bit of a newb at bikes. i would figure i would join this forum to get some help lol

Hi All,

I am Terry Wellsworth, a very new member to this forum and also I am an avid reader of the forums. I found this forum very informative regarding motorcycle and I am really very excited here to take part in discussions. Hope you will contribute your ideas and support me in my mission.

Thanks

My name's Curtis. I'm currently a senior in a little town called Blissfield in the great motorcycling state of Michigan. The winters here are FANTASTIC for riding, especially if you like 3" of snow and ice on the roads!

I've been trolling around the forums on this site for well over a year. Not only was this the first site that I started reading thoroughly (thank God), but it's the only site so far that I've been consistently reading.

I'm saving up through Winter via my McJob at McDonald's and planning on buying a 250R in the Spring. This site with all its stories and advice, along with financial constraints (being 17, insurance, and minor work laws), have pointed me to this bike.

Cheers to keeping aspiration for motorcycling alive during the cold months!
