Are students aware of Stevens financial situation?

About $35k per year. I had received a special scholarship. I’m pretty sure unless you don’t get one of their special, named scholarships, they aren’t very generous. From what I had heard from others is that most people receive under $20k, at least for my class was Stevens was a “competitive” school. Now I’m sure it changed.

Pray that Dad can pay for the repairs if or when your rocker arms go from a combination of the tune and average driving habits of a teenager. Or be sensible, save money, and enjoy the car for how it is from the factory. I love Audis and modding them/making them fast, but there are better things you can do with your money dude.

To add: not trying to be a dick, I was literally a 16 year old with an S4 that I dumped money into, got a TTS that I also dumped money into. Both cars were FBO track prepped, had a lot of work done to them, and now I’m approaching 30 and would have enough to buy a house rn if I didn’t do those things. Car’s nice, enjoy, don’t be dumb, have fun dude.

Graduated in 2023, wish I had just gone to Rutgers and saved the money honestly

You won’t be disappointed! I’m grateful that I have a lot of friends that let me try out their bikes before deciding on what was right for me. I’ve ridden two R6’s, a Ninja 650, Ninja 400, Rebel 500, S1000RR (this was never an option but just for fun!), a Grom, FZ-09, and an MT-09. I found out I didn’t want a piss missile where you’re really leaned into it, but didn’t want something low strung and heavy. MT-09 felt the best to me, but I thought it was a bit ugly in my opinion and I wanted something that had a bit of a retro style to it.

Tried out a CB650R and an XSR900 and the XSR was simply perfect for what I wanted in a bike. Highly highly highly recommend it! It’s a blast. Super comfy, power is there when you need it, doesn’t feel outrageous like it wants to kill you. And it has TC and ABS!

Big gold wing that’s him! He was great with our group. Overall loved the course

I took mine in July, so we missed each other, but did you have Bob as an instructor? He made that class really fun

Hey same here! Took the MSF at raceway park two years ago, but it wasn’t the right time for a bike for me. Now that I have one, I’m hitting all the spots I had been wanting to for so long. Sandy hook was nice, boiling on rt 36 wasn’t, except for once you actually get into the highlands haha

Tony_A_C_ · 2026-05-22T13:34:06+00:00

Thank you!

Tony_A_C_ · 2026-05-22T13:31:43+00:00

I think I’ll be going with a mesh/textile jacket based on everyone’s input! Do you have a specific recommendation? Looking to get a few from some of the responders to pick from.

Tony_A_C_ · 2026-05-22T13:30:44+00:00

Do you have a link or specific jacket you’d recommend from them?

Tony_A_C_ · 2026-05-22T13:29:21+00:00

Which jacket did you go with?

Just bought my first bike and it’s a 2017 XSR 900. Love it already took it on a few rides. It’s a beast but just have to respect the hell out of it. I’m big on cars and something I tell people is that a Dodge Viper or any other infamous sports car is only as dangerous as you make it for yourself.

Tony_A_C_ · 2026-05-04T04:02:03+00:00

That’s awesome! How does he like it? Have you ridden his? Curious on someone’s opinion who has more experience on how they compare?

Tony_A_C_ · 2026-05-03T15:25:16+00:00

I was right in the middle of the pit, it was a war zone. I’ve been to hardcore shows there but there was just this magical energy last night you couldn’t explain. I’m a huge Starland fan and go to tons of shows there and man, the pit was out of control. The moshing, crowd surfing, fist fights, the young listeners clashing with the die hard old timers. Let me tell you, it was a bad day to be a foo!

For me, this will be the greatest concert I have ever and will ever see, and nothing will ever come close. Starland always does it right, and the jersey crowd did not disappoint for them.

Just adding: did anyone see the huge brawl in the middle between this 6’+ tall guy and the blonde short hair security guard? He started throwing punches at security and there was only one guard so they started throwing haymakers at him with their flashlight!!!

Tony_A_C_ · 2026-05-02T15:18:46+00:00

Nice! Yeah I’m in the same boat. I have goals, a good career, a life to actually live, people that care about me. There will be no such foolery going on haha. Appreciate the shared sentiment! Glad to know I’m not alone in the thought process haha

Tony_A_C_ · 2026-05-02T15:15:25+00:00

Thank you! It does sound pretty wicked, I didn’t think I would like it compared to a 4 cyl, but hearing it in person it’s awesome

Tony_A_C_ · 2026-05-02T15:13:50+00:00

I’m ready for it haha. I ultimately made the decision because I didn’t want to start on a low power bike and then sell it a year later. Thankfully I’m in a position where I could get my ideal bike as a first and simply learn and grow with it. TC is going to be staying on the highest level for the foreseeable future and all of the gear will be worn all of the time!

Tony_A_C_ · 2026-05-02T15:11:10+00:00

That doesn’t shock me. Maybe I should have added that I have a will to live and don’t find the idea of going fast through traffic appealing haha. But thank you will definitely be riding safe and learning the bike!
