another vote for vfr The only bike I would trade mine in for would be the C14, test drove one last year and it was great, handled good, comfy, hardbags, didn't feel the weight at all, tons of power. It just felt awesome to me...
Had mine for a couple of years, mostly commuting and a couple of all day trips, never had any issues with comfort, plenty of speed and flickability for me, only change I've made so far is to get pilot power 2s what a huge difference those tires have made. I absolutely love the bike can't see getting rid of it ever.
I had to cut them a check and work paid me after I got my grades need C+ for work to pay. I didn't have any issues. I didn't apply for financial aid so I can't comment on that.
Work would not pay for anything that wasn't accredited and Phoenix is, they took most of my OSU credits which got me through to being a senior. The only thing I had to do over were my degree core classes. Teacher's were all people who were/are in the field and it was all hands on and very practical, some of the stuff I knew and breezed through other classes were challenging. I can't complain about it since got kudos from the boss and a bit of a bump in pay scale. Mine was in computer science.
I'll be there on Sunday for some demo rides and general walking around July 22-24 http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/events/AMAVintageMotorcycleDays/ScheduleAndDirections.aspx
Besides track days what are other options to learn? MSF? Are there good training videos or books out there(I've read twist of the wrist and david hough books)? I'm not knocking track days would love to do one just curious about other options...
