I just got my first motorcycle! YAY!!!
I’m not taking the MSF Course until July, so I’m not exactly able to ride it just pushing it in circles in my garage but I’m still really excited!
I got a small 1990 HONDA VTR 250 with 15,000 miles on it for $1250. Pretty good deal I think.
Any thoughts on what to expect and/or do or the bike? I’m just wicked pumped!:D:D:D:D
Welcome to the club! Expect to have a really good time getting from Point A to Point B now, even on the most mundane trips. You’ll probably also start collecting a bunch of stories that begin, “I almost got killed on the way to ____ today…”
Congrats!!! Good Choice!
Without anyone to show you how to do even throttleless riding I imagine that its probably best for it to sit dormant until your ready. But until then, you can make it shine, change the oil, inspect the major components, sit on it, tell all your non rider friends how much better you are then them (j/k).
Damn I wanted to take the MSF again (actually thirded time ;)), and every single freakin class is full.
Your first ride, congrats!
Mine was a 70’s Yamaha RD 200, the next and last a cagiva 650 allazzurra (ducati). It may be sold soon that one…mwah
Congrats! I’m expecting to buy my first one next week, most likely a Yamaha V Star 250. I took the MSF class at the beginning of April and have been chomping at the bit ever since. I feel like a kid at Christmas!
Good for you!
Two wheels are way more fun than four.
Congratulations!
And watch out for clueless drivers. You’re just a little speck in their rear view mirror.
Bumping this thread to say - Yay! I’m in the club now! I finally got my bike today. It’s sweeeet…
