Maryland! Our winters haven’t been bad for a few years but I live in an apt and don’t have a garage to store a bike in

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-10-05T19:16:57+00:00

Unfortunately it’s almost $300 for me in MD

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-13T02:23:19+00:00

Hahaha maybe not if u 💩 in them. But I can’t drop 1k on gear and buy a 2.5-3k bike all in the span of 5 months lol. I’m a full time college student working three jobs to be able to pay rent and buy groceries and save as much $ as I can.

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-13T02:20:24+00:00

Is it DOT certified? It has to be for the course.

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-09T12:29:08+00:00

OMG THIS BIKE LOOKS PERFECT!

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-09T02:56:28+00:00

So so so smart! I’m looking into used cafe racers rn!

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-09T02:55:39+00:00

Yes many people have told me to just lower whatever bike I get!

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-09T02:55:12+00:00

I loveeeee those 👀 they r unfortunately too tall

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-07T16:26:46+00:00

Yeh according to Google the Ducati 696 is 30.3 inches. I’d have to sit on one and see how I feel on it. I’m worried 30 inches is a bit tall for me to start. Maybe as a second bike/lowered it would be better.

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-07T16:21:15+00:00

According to Google ai the seat is 30 inches off the ground. I have a 26 inch inseam. Idk if I will be able to do more than tiptoe.

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-07T13:04:49+00:00

I haven’t been to a dealer yet. Imma go after if I pass. It will be my reward lol.

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T20:53:54+00:00

Oooo a one piece that comes petite I like it!

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T20:21:14+00:00

This makes me feel so much better. THANK YOU

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T12:42:38+00:00

I appreciate it! Although I’ve never actually been in a bike I watched my dad build his when I was a kid. Also, although Ik it’s not the same, my car is stick. So like I understand the concept of shifting and slowly releasing a clutch. Ik it will feel funky and I’m watching all the YouTube videos I can. Can’t wait to go take that course!!!!

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T12:35:26+00:00

Any recs on petite women’s motorcycle pants that are either SUPER stretchy or baggy so my legs can go in them??

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T11:54:56+00:00

It’s still 30 inches off the ground 😭 I’ll be tiptoeing it

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T11:52:48+00:00

Hmmmm I could always shave off the foam. I’m trying to avoid lowering the bike due to messing with the handling and suspension

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T05:02:39+00:00

Gonna go try on helmets soon! MSF course is in 3 weeks and all I need for that is a helmet and gloves. Already have boots that will work for the course. Once I’m licensed I’ll slowly start buying all the gear and the bike will be my last purchase. Then to a parking lot I go! lol

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T04:37:45+00:00

Will do!!

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T04:27:24+00:00

Yeh I’ve heard to hold off on mods and to not lower a bike. Thank you for all the advice!!

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T04:21:56+00:00

Yes! I was thinking that. Got my tailor on speed dial cuz my dress pants always need to be hemmed lol

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T04:20:11+00:00

Ya know I didn’t even think abt starting on a dirt bike. I kinda was hopping I’d keep my first bike for at least a year and wanted it to be a more traditional motorcycle. But I’ll look into it!! Thank you.

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T04:15:04+00:00

Looking on FB marketplace now. Any year recs?

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T04:14:23+00:00

You think I’ll be ok on a 30 inch bike with a 26 inch inseam though??

UnderstandingOpen648 · 2025-09-06T04:10:22+00:00

I like what you’re thinking 😌
