RE: new guy =P - 6/6/2006 11:57:47 PM    Nick I.   Posts: 181 Joined: 3/30/2006 From: Delco Pa. Status: offline Nice looking bike! The only advice that I can add would be do not go out riding with your friends who have bikes and have been riding for a while. Most people have a tendency to try and keep up with people who are faster. (bad idea for now) Ride uncrowded roads with one guy you trust to teach you. (atleast for a little while) Buy leathers, jacket, pants, gloves, boots etc. If you fall you will not win the battle of the pavement. (and chicks do NOT dig scars) Do not ride at night, until you're completely comfortable on the bike, and then still second guess the decision, bikes are hard enough to see, let alone at night with some ass yappin on their phone in their cage not paying attention. Respect the power of the bike, regardless of what people may think an F2 has plenty-o-power. Have fun and ride safe! Sorry to sound like a grumpy old person but I've seen a lot of new riders get hurt by trying to keep up with faster people and doing dumb things. This is a guy that rode with us.. I saw this accident happening the first time I rode with this kid. He is in the reserves with a friend of mine, he is permenately F'ed up. RIDE SAFE. < Message edited by Nick I. -- 6/7/2006 12:01:18 AM > _____________________________ 1993 F2 - 1998 Plastic. Sold! The Replacement 2003 600RR (in reply to MT Wallet) Post #: 16

Sweet jesus I pray that nothing like that ever happens to me or my friends. When I've been group riding with my friends, typically I hang back towards the rear anyways... I always see my friend on his GSXR600 (who is a new rider) flying past the group but its always him who is locking up the brakes sliding half sideways to intersections. I dont ever wanna see people hurt from bike accidents, gotta respect that shit. _____________________________ 1992 CBR250RR "BabyBlade" & 2000 CBR600 F4 (in reply to Nick I.) Post #: 17

Status: offline I wasn't there, he was by himself riding.. witnesses say he was riding a wheelie, the car cut infront of him, the front wheel went down and slammed into the car. He doesn't remember what happened at all. he said he was not riding a wheelie. I rode with this guy, he was an accident waiting to happen. That was almost a year ago, he will walk with a limp forever. I think he was 23 when this happened. _____________________________ 1993 F2 - 1998 Plastic. Sold!

Status: offline I think he had a helmet on, I can't say for certain though.. he doesn't have brain damage or anything like that, he doesn't remember the accident, so he probably got his bell rung pretty good though. _____________________________ 1993 F2 - 1998 Plastic.
