Your trying to hide something?

[OreoGaborio]

heh, kid thinks he's all smart & shit & then says "your" when he meant to say "you're"...... you ASSHAT

at least the graph says i have a 9 & 1/2 inch wang... i can live w/ that

[ZX-12R]

Aww crap. That chart says I only have a 5" wang.


On the other hand, when I was little I learned to ride on a street legal Honda XL70. That means I could have 12.5 inches of woman destroying power down there!

Why don't you stop bitching fix your bike and ride instead of wasting your life post whoring here?

[OreoGaborio]

because unlike your parent mooching ass i'm at work for 40hrs a week

[HBerry]

Oh Im sorry that I work two jobs and go to school and pay for my bike on my own you slut!


And you proved my point, you work more than me so you have more money than me so you can afford to fix your bike....

BITCH!

[OreoGaborio]

i may make more... but i'm also paying out the ass for rent & utilites... and then a man has to eat... money isn't keeping my bike from being repaired though, it's the time & tools to do it. hopfully i won't be bitchin for long though, i'll be riding by next weekend at the latest... maybe even as early as this sunday

[jimaug87]

teenagers are dangerous. i say limit it to age 21, just like drinking.

Just because some people are mornons you're about to punish the intelligent kids like me? I drink in moderation and never drive afterwards, i have an 1100cc bike as my #2. I'm here walking and I don't plan on that changing anytime soon, of my own accord at least. If I get rear ended then my bike had nothing to do with that. It would be nice if there was atest that would seperate the idiots from the kids that can think of concquences.

[OreoGaborio]

there's a senseless 2 year thread bump for ya....

[ejoy1220]

ok, which would you guys rather have.... laws against aftermarket exhausts, or laws against a 16 year old buying a hyabusa?

Neither, you can do what you want with your money. The government shouldn't have to babysit people who can make decisions for themselves. It's their decision if they want a 180hp SS as the first bike, as long as they know how incredibly dangerous that idea is.

[Awesome]

They have to buy liter bikes when they read about how slow the 600's are and how they're no fun. What else would you expect?

Damnnnn Jay!! You won't let that rest will ya? I'm taking the high road..

Oreo seems pissed this thread was brought back probably because he realized his argument is just so damn ridiculous...maybe when he's done getting this legislation passed he'll get to work on his Pro-life campaign...

I said it in another thread....Oreo was a hall monitor in school! Always wanting to tell others how to live....I hear N.Korea's looking for some stand up comedians Oreo????

[highsider]

In Europe, they have a cool graduated license system where you must have a certain number of years of riding under your belt before you can purchase a larger bike. In reality, it makes for some much cooler bikes - VFR400's, ZX-4's, etc.

This, of course, coming from the asshat who earned the nickname "highsider" at 18 years old with my super-sweet FJ1200.

[Awesome]

Just clarifying my point, and the reason I was so irritated by the statements.

[Crash Dummy Denno]

stop crying Pete. If someone wants to buy a liter bike, nothing should stand in their way. I don't think its a good idea for a new rider to buy a liter bike, but its their decision, not yours or mine.

+1

and trees hurt just as bad on an EX as a hyabusa

edit:wow - this an old thread - nm my comments

I'm with you Oreo.

i'm not saying make it illegal for a newbie to get anything bigger than a 250, i'm saying that someone w/ a year or less experience shouldn't be able to get somethin like a GSX-R 1000, ZX-10R or, CBR-1000RR or R1. you guys don't agree?

can the same kid kill themselves on a 600? yeah, absolutely, but it takes a little more effort and they might actaully learn how to ride a bike on a 600 before it scares the fuck out of em or worse.

i think we of all people know what a literbike is capable of, and what something w/ less power can & can't do. i'm kinda suprised that there hasn't been any kinda support for something like this.

we can either let newbies continue to kill themselves on 1000cc bikes, raise our insurance rates & kill any possibility of the sportbiking community having a decent view in the general public, or we can do something about it, save some money & maybe gain a little respect in the public's eye.

we all bitch about how much bad press we get and how our insurance rates go up cuz some asshat w/ no training got in over his head & cut himself in half w/ a telephone poll... why not support something that would do something about it?

(btw, Rhonda... i just looked it up... GA accidents are down, motorcycling accidents are way up)

I don't think it matters, unless we're gonna do the whole thing like in Japan where you have to ride a certain amount of time within a given displacement range and then move up to the next. Tests at every larger displacement licensing.

And the whole 600 is safer than a litre bike, I dunno. I had a litre bike before I got this 600, and the litre bike stayed planted better (weighed more), didn't require such crazy rpm's for equal power, had torque at the low end which meant on the street I really didn't even NEED to hit high rpms.

They are different rides. The 600 skips around on the road more (as it weighs much less), and the higher rpms require quicker thinking with respect to the back wheel and it breaking loose (so far in my experience anyway).

...ok so synthetic oil after a few thousand miles?

you call THAT taking the high road?

I was beginning to think that maybe I was a little harsh to you before... but now I realize that was a silly thought. Stop being such a childish dink.

[newgixxerchic]

as a person who's a "newbie" to street bikes, I never even considered getting a liter bike, and I've even had experience on smaller bikes, so I just think the people who do get a 1k as a first bike are just plain stupid... and you can't fix stupid. thats all.

[Crash Dummy Denno]

man i did my oil change last night - looked like hershey's syrup

[OreoGaborio]

is that why harley's handle better than sportbikes

i've never... EVER... heard anyone that really knows bikes say anything even remotely close to supporting that theory.

[Jaynnus]

Where exactly would you draw the line? And would that mean that people on larger bikes would get pulled over more just to check your credentials? Would it really stop someone who is on an ego trip and wants to ride a litre bike? Afterall, the law says I could not drink until I was 21, but did that stop me when I was 14?

In theory, I agree that young inexperience riders should start out a bit slower. But what if we put all that money, time and energy we would put into a tiered or limited system into education? Isn't that really the key?

you know the weight is getting closer and closer, there's not that much difference anymore if you stay within the same model... for instance the gsxr 600 weighs (dry) 354 lbs and the 1000 weighs 379 dry... it's not that much difference.
