None of the bikes you have one-sidedly indicated.
Maybe a Pizza Delivery Scooter or or a high-visibility pink step-through push bike with basket and bell.

Just in case you're wondering I went out with my friends in empty Walmart parking lots.

On top of that I ride alot of ex-racers and stunters and such......we ride hard. I ride them twice a week. All of them know me and know my level. Just because I had an off doesnt all of a sudden mean I cant ride shite. I'll leave it at this: the guys I ride are more then happy to let me ride them. That says alot to me because Im the only person I've ever seen them let ride them.....and Im talking about groups of 30-40 people here. After about 15 rides (each one about a 2-3 hour ride) with the large group I got invited to the "A group" ride out which is a smaller select group within the larger group for peeps with a higher skill level that meet ounce a week on a different day. I didnt ask to be in this group. I didnt even know it existed until I was invited. What matters is that other people, some who have been riding for longer then I've been alive, haved owned more motorcycle then I have years in my life, and have experience, watched me for a period of time in the group and decided I was good enough for the A-list.

The point Im trying to make is that Im not some noob with a bunch of money that went out just for the hell of it. I've taken the time to learn how to ride and I will CONTINUE to take the time to improve my riding ability. Thats why I took them twice.....its why I continued to practice the basics they teach in that course on my own......its why I went to the ride twice a week.....its why I made myself ride in the rain when others didnt want to get themselves dirty or get soaked...... etc etc etc............

Yeah....I binned the Shit. Doesnt mean all of a sudden I need training. Believe me.....going through a big off like that with serious injuries is a VERY sobering experience. I know Im lucky to be alive and not paralyzed. But I also know that I NEED to get back in the saddle and I cant go backwards when I do. I need to get up, dust myself off, and keep pushing forwards...using the same steady progression that worked so well for me so far. Thats what Im gonna do.

Oh and one more thing. Please dont think Im gonna be running around the streets tearing them up. Im not crazy. I dont want to die, I dont want to kill somebody else, and I cant get any more tickets. One big reason Im considering a guy my size to suit me a little better. Also they have better midrange which makes them more suitable for around town riding which I do alot of daily. I gotta make some concessions and since the vast majorty will be on the street thats where my priorities have to be. So its a logical thing for me to consider a stone. Just something Im considering. Hell, I might sell it.......but I'll never know until I try.

Cheers.

WHAT???
Did I just read you correctly?
Gosh, dang it.... You Americans....

There's no accounting for taste...

CBR 600

Only cos I want one eventually

**humphrt** · 27th May 2008, 19:00

675 Daytona definately. Rode one once and fell in love instantly. Still a 600 but with heaps more midrange than your inline fours, gotta love that triple sound too.

I'm selling it to get a Z1000 or something like it maybe a Superduke...I've got a wrist injury and the sportsbike isn't helping...Shame you are not over here buddy...

If I had the cash and better wrists I think the Duc 848 looks mint!
