JoshI didn’t think it was soap boxy at all. I was sort of expecting it, but the insurance thing still blows me away a little.
It’s weird when your internal desires are playing chess. (Kinda like that seinfeld episode). The part of me that just wants to “ride” for the thrill of it and freedom knows it’s better to get the 500r and set myself up to be a long term well skilled rider. The poser part doesn’t want a cbr1000, but figures “hey let’s compromise a little safety to look a little cooler.” That’s the real danger. It’s not a drastic compromise, just one that’s possibly just a tad over the line that gets me intro trouble.
We’ll see…even after what has possibly now become somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-100 hours of research I may not even get a motorcycle after all. I am a young married father of 3 who has never ridden before. I’m not even sure I belong here if you know what I mean.
