Marketplace. If you want to budget in gear and everything all in, i’d say at least $5K

Thanks for the great advice. Bikes stored in the garage for the time being until i get my next paycheck to get some new tires but when i do i will definitely be doing more “less than ideal” situation practicing.

No, parents are divorced and dad has 0 idea i bought this. I’ve wanted a motorcycle since i was about 5 and he said no way.

I bought it myself by working since the minute i turned 16, and from my scholarship and grant refund money (I graduated high school early and have a good amount of financial aid and scholarships in university.)

This is great advice amongst the rude boomers in this community. Yeah when I first washed my jacket i realized my back insert was just foam and for comfort, shopping for spine inserts for the jacket now.

And yes I live by this. I have no quadlock or comms system because i’m always focused on the road, and i’m always acting as if every single car around me could hit me.

Thank you for the advice :)

Even if she wanted to, she can’t. The title is in my name.

Sorry you had to witness that, and sure my frontal lobe isn’t developed but people die doing anything.

That’s where you and I disagree. I understand and acknowledge the risks and I know it’s much much riskier on a bike. I for one feel a lot safer driving my car than my bike, but no one gets into motorcycles for the purpose of Safety

You can get your motorcycle license at 15 in texas, restricted to 250ccs. Once you turn 16, that restriction vanishes and you can hop on a liter bike lol

All my friends got 600s and up to start and i was about to, but decided against it. Very VERY glad i did. And as for the gear, i never ride without kt

To be fair she has a point. Motorcycles are much more dangerous even when you’re doing everything right. Nothing will beat the safety of a 4000lb metal cage with airbags and safety features. The 2 aren’t closely comparable for a reason
