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.

    • Has anybody actually said anything of that sort? (if they did, I missed it) I get why some folks rely on stats. I don't, and honestly I'm not sure why people keep trying to convince me I should. (it ain't gonna happen) 😕 Consistency is my big thing too, and the lack of it is why I want to move on from Bryce. But again, that's an argument I make without denying that he can indeed play in (and yes, win) NFL games. Hating bad QB play is fine. Denying when you see good QB play is silly. Let's be real for a second... This may not be you specifically, but there are some folks for whom Bryce can do absolutely nothing to win their approval. Some are always gonna want a bigger / stronger / faster / more athletic (in some cases, Newtonesque) quarterback even if Bryce does start to play consistently. At that point, they'll just shift the argument from "we can't win with Bryce" to "well, we can't keep winning with Bryce" 😖 You know all this as well as I do. So again, I want to move on from Bryce as well. I'd happily (hell, merrily) keep him as a backup, but I doubt there's a realistic path to that happening. But no matter what, I'm gonna keep my debate points based in reality, and I'm not gonna be responsive to "he just sucks" level persuasion. Is any of that unreasonable? 🤔
    • Apples and oranges.   No one is coming for Jon Snow and the neutral party when they compliment Bruce when it is just normal talk about a game.  Which is the literal picture you are trying to paint above.  I mean that’s exactly what you argued. if you start a thread that is about the future of the franchise at QB going forward at QB and what we should do or are thinking! Yeah, the anti Bryce crowd is going to very vocal on that thread because the literal topic is extending Bryce and the future at QB (which is what an anti Bryce position is literally about.  Moving on.  The future) This thread? I literally called out people in their feelings wanting to make this about Bryce and their hurt feelings eroding over.  You can find where I literally calls them out go make another Bryce thread if they didn’t want to talk Saints and the most relevant thing about them.  And the thread went exactly as we all knew it would.   Bryce deserved player of the week talk for Atlanta.  I have always acknowledged his great games.  A shame there are only two 
    • Then the offense will be the same up and down underperforming offense they are this year and our FO are filled with idiots.
