Studded tires, overweight trucks, and weather obviously take a toll on roads and bridges. What are the differences between Idaho and other states that ban studded tires? How often do roads need maintenance? Why has Roman roads/bridges lasted 2000 years? If there are specific sites with this information that would also be helpful to know. Thank you!
Take a riding course, it's the absolute BEST thing you can do for yourself. Many Harley dealerships offer one, call a local motorcycle dealer to find one close to you or check online. They usually aren't too expensive and when you're done you get your endorsement! Also always remember even if you are the safest rider out there most people in cars could care less for the safety of bikers so defensive driving is a lifesaver!
Congratulations on seeing the light, its a whole new world on 2 wheels. The Yamaha will be ok a long as its safe and running well, ride it for a year and then get what you want. If you drop this bike big deal, its not worth much but will allow you to put some miles under your feet, experience counts. Just watch out for the other guy.
I'm 21 and i just got my 1st bike (suzuki boulevard c50 800cc a bit big for a newbie, but I love it to death). Like above, I cannot stress enough the importance of the MSF or MSF sponsored/approved courses. They teach you techniques that you might otherwise learn from falling down yourself. In my MSF approved class I had a variety of folk even a 65 year old guy who rode scooters his whole life and wanted to upgrade to harleys. Lots of people say get 500-650 cc bike as the first bike, but I will say that you may get bored with the bike after a few months and want something with a bit more ooomph. The 850 sounds like a good bike, just make sure you have someone with bike experience look it over for you before you buy. Good luck, ride with all your gear on, and ride safe!
because, in computer words, it really is considered as YELLING AT someone!! you're considered as being dissatisfied, offended, p-o'ed, etc. once you write in all caps. it really is why it really is considered impolite and is frowned upon on-line. And no, writing in small letters isn't meek or submissive. you could write a reality that comes for the time of as knowledgeable and worth of reading. Writing in all caps is extra of a deterrent because human beings would not opt to examine a persons' offended comments. It also enables if the guy writes succinctly, with perfect capitalization and punctuation, in order to get his/her element for the time of. Do what Yahoo! requests and use small letters. in the different case, you're blackballed from their list serv.
Take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course. You are not too old. You'll need boots too. When you ride your own motorcycle, you'll need gloves, and you should have a leather jacket. 1980 Yamaha 850 Special Beautiful motorcycle! I wish I had one! A bit big and heavy for a beginner though. Consider getting a used Ninja 250 to start with, ride it for six months, sell it for about what you bought it for, then take over the 850.
