    Yes - you need to give it to me so I can ride it and keep the battery charged for you. madbikeboy will attest to my fitness as a substitute rider.

    wot da fuc you talkin bout brutha...

    if you don't ride it your a pussy.

    man, I rode for 15 yrs without a license. Funny thing, it actually teaches you to ride much safer and within the law - last thing you need riding without a license is getting pulled over... so, you ride carefully.

    Ride it!

    Why cant you ride it?
    Restricted?...I was in the same position once. Had a 250, really wanted this particular Yamaha 600 so went and got it, and rode it.

    Very important, must be done before you get riding on it....

    Get a nice aftermarket exhaust!!

    My gsxr1000 was awesome, and then i put a yoshi 4into1 system on it and now im even more stoked with it everytime i hop on it.

    if you're not going to ride it - disconnect the battery
    if you are gonna ride it- I hope you don't get caught on your restricted, fined $400 and given 25 demits ( like I did!)

    You could always take it out for a ride, as long as you take care. It's not likely that the cops will stop you if you behave.
    Ride fast or be last.

    excuse my ignorance but is it possible to just start it up every so often and let it run for a few mins each time, or do you have to actually ride it?

    I ride mine

    and then the man does the real open roads to give it some stretch.. I have this silly thing in my head that says ride it cause as said above.. ya keep to the law when you have nothing .. when you have something you stretch the limit.... but make sure its within your means... so I keep to the law.. boring ole lady!

    You really have to ride it and get it above a few 1000k before it starts charging.
