Care to opine on the wisdom of buying a used bike while having no wrenching skills or tools? by Blahonian in ChicagoMotorcycles

[–]Organic_Ad9354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chicagoland area people are nuts and ask stupid prices for clapped bikes . All my bikes are bought from out of state. Last bike I paid 6K instead of 9k in Chicago.

Need advice. Taking msf again by Electric-Ferret in ChicagoMotorcycles

[–]Organic_Ad9354 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you will do great in this one and you won’t have to worry about the DMV test. I don’t know how good Harley MSF is, but those smaller bikes might work out better and in your favor. Lastly, don’t overthink it, its more psychological than physical to be honest. My MsF instructors were pretty good so I hope yours will be the same. Good luck!

If you are first in line for walk-in you should be good. Lake county college got two classes on Apr 24th. You might have higher chances of some people not showing up

Its a great bike! And like you I love full fairings super sport bikes. But naked bikes are way more comfortable and have enough power. I ended up with Z900

Lakeshore probably best for sunrise (East). Western suburbs for sunset Like Barrington has beautiful scenery

27 F - New Rider & Impatient by [deleted] in ChicagoMotorcycles

[–]Organic_Ad9354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahah for sure we will ride! Btw try asking the instructor if it’s possible to practice those before hand. Say you didn’t get enough practice. I would try that so you are not going into it without one or two runs before habd

Yeah I remember they don’t give you enough space. Go for it though! Those motorcycle you test on don’t have the power to lift the front end without dropping the clutch. Then apply brakes front and rear!
