lord_verminaard Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm Brendan from Mt. Vernon. I've been interested in getting a motorcycle for quite some time now. I really wanted to take the MSF course this fall, looks like now I probably won't get around to it and will have to wait until the spring. but I'm not in any rush. Still looking for my first bike, my only riding experience prior was a little dirtbike probably 25 years ago, and I've putzed around on quads a time or two, but that's it.I'm mostly interested in riding for fun and commuting purposes- the style of bike I am looking for are sport/standard, I think I would like a more upright seating position but I also would rather have a bike with sporting tendencies rather than a cruiser. I also really love cafe-racer style bikes a LOT and someday I will probably build one.My other interests are Volkswagens, I currently have four (well three VW's and one Audi) and I need to thin the herd a little before I can get a bike.Anyway, glad to be on here and I hope to be on 2 wheels someday soon.Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roxynoodle Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Welcome! I rode dirt as a kid, and then had a moped during my early teens. I went 24 years also before getting on 2 wheels again and I'm glad I did. Better late than never, and at least you are past the "19 year old I am invincible" attitude. Good idea to take MSF first. I did it the other way around, but it worked out for me, thankfully!A good first sport standard and great commuter is the Ninja 500 (ex500).

rollnhot Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Welcome, MSF course is a great idea. I took it with my daughter when she started riding. And it saves me $12.00 a year on insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
