[QUOTE="beacher, post: 1168043, member: 14733"] It seems to me, guys, whether I agree with you or not, that telling somebody that has just purchased a new bike, that it's really not the right bike for him, is just wrong. Words of caution, wisdom, and help (when [I]that[/I] is what he asked for!), I'm sure are appreciated, but a lot of folk kicking in their opinions on whether or not he's made a mistake. . . Maybe that's just me, but you guys [I]have[/I] helped me, a lot, in the past, and that's kind of what I think that the forum is for. For my own advice, bikerbuddha, I would [I][B]strongly[/B][/I] advise you to take a riding/safety course, and do a [I]lot[/I] of riding and practicing, in a baseball or football parking lot, when there are no cars there. As other people have stated, it's a big, heavy and powerful bike, and if it's your first, you need to be extremely careful, and [I]just[/I] at first. Strap on your paranoia, along with your helmet, [I]every[/I] time you go out, because most of the people in cars aren't going to be looking out for you! Oh, yeah, and if the bike doesn't have them, order a set of frame sliders, because sooner or later, you'll be thankful that you have them. Good luck, bro! [/QUOTE]
