Default Damn I want a bike bad...

So I've decided that I'll be taking the CC riders course over at College of Alameda before the end of summer so probably in the next couple of weeks, so I can get my M1 Class License. It's only 200 bucks and it looks fun. As soon as I get my license I'll probably look into getting a bike. This is the bike I want, I'll probably get a Honda CBR 600, I heard f4i's were good beginning bikes, my friend has one and she said it's fun as hell to ride.

Here's the bike I want:

speaking of bikes....

yesterday driving to work, traffic got hella backed up. so after sitting through it for 30 minutes, i finally see what happened. there was a 900rr on it's side, and a brand new accord all scraped down the side. it had just happened because the cops were just getting there. the rider was laying about 50' from the bike, and there was a couple of people standing around him. he wasn't moving.

i hate seeing that shit. reminds me why i don't wanna get another bike. AZ drivers have 0 respect for bikes.

Damn that sucks and in Arizona they don't wear fawking helmets, they're crazy over there. I would wear gear where ever the hell I went. 900rr's aren't toys to be played with, they should be taken seriously. And redgoober why not?
