First Motorcycle


Dex

Recommended Posts

I yelled at Philly for making me look like I was copying him but I'm over it. So I passed my permit test last week and am taking a beginner's course May 12/13th. After that I'll be free to pick out my bike! Right now I'm really in love with the 2018 Indian Scout Bobber. I'm looking for a cruiser with forward controls so if anyone has any ideas or advice let me know! I'm very excited.

 

How/When to get the best deals?

Gear?

Motorcycle suggestions?

Riding advice?

My budget is 15k tops but I'd like to keep it between 10-12k if possible. I'm 5' 11" 215lbs.

Looking at PhillyB Instagram, he probably is regretting he ever bought a bike haha

The Enfields (Philly's bike) have a certain charm but they're a running joke in the industry when it comes to longevity and quality. (So I've been told)

I'd buy a $1,000 bike and ride it for a couple of months before investing heavily.

A bird to the chest at 60 MPH is a painful thing.

Another avenue I'm definitely considering. Get a cheap used 750cc until I get comfortable.

A windshield will prevent about 99% of those types of incidents.  I learned that I that I needed one the hard way.  It wasn't a bird, but a rock that came out of a truck.  Popped me in the chest.

I love the bobber style bikes. I'm also interested in the Honda Rebel 500. Gonna try out a few different bikes.

I'm with a couple others on this one...same when I talk to folks about boats.

Get something comfortable, fairly reliable, and on the cheaper side that has good resale.  If you like riding, you will know what to buy next, and the first bike can be easily sold.  This also keeps you from making an impulse buy and overspending.

Have you had decent seat time on one?

I like the bobber/cafe racers as well.  Always wanted to build one out of an old cb750 or something.

I'm sure they're fun to ride. I just don't find the ricer look attractive.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
