The "Am I stupid AF for wanting a motorcycle" thread.

I own a motorcycle and I love riding it... but if I could give one piece of advice it would be commute to work and whatnot in your car, And save the motorbike for evening rides and weekend jaunts. Try to avoid high traffic streets and AVOID riding during rush hour if at all possible

just my 2c

Oh and definitely take a riding course you will learn a lot! (even if you had ridden dirtbikes and whatnot in the past)

Have you been to any of the resorts here? Way better than Whiteface NY and by far the best in NY. better than most of ME and VT too.

Yeah buffalo is blue collar. Point being? Not sure what the deal is. I like living here. I like where I live south of the city. Not much more to be said.

Yeah, I've been to nearly every resort there. I would not rate any of them better than Whiteface, Gore, or even Greek Peak. The deal is Buffalo sucks, that is the deal.

Well most ski magazines and people who arent trying to be a jerk would disagree with you. Because Holiday Valley is constantly rated better than Whiteface. Or anywhere else in NY.

But I get it, Buffalo sucks I should feel bad. Thanks for letting me know.

PS Fucking hate canadians. Imagine Eomer is one of the types that come over, buy new clothes, put them on and not claim them at the border. bunch of shit birds in Ontario. They are still better than the hicks in Alberta.

I'm always perfectly honest when crossing the border, because our border patrol makes yours look like a joke. It's more of a pain in the ass for me to get back in to my own country, than to get in to pretty much any foreign one. So yeah, I'm meticulous about purchases. I keep the receipts and everything.

And I'm quite cultured, thank you.

At least that's one thing we can agree on. Fuck Canadians. So many people think they're so nice and all say sorry and this horseshit. NAH.

is this really a "Our border patrol has a bigger dick than your border patrol" post?

Here's how I get into Canada - Drive up say GOING TO YYZ (PS fuck you for saying it Zed) then they ask me zero questions and I go through. Then I use my EZ pass to go through the 3 dollar toll booths In and out in 2 minutes. Coming into the US I get grilled. Where, when, how long, what you doing, what do you have etc.

I think what we can all take from this is that at the US/Canada border its easier to go into the foreign country than it is to return to your own, which I find hilarious.

No, it was merely a reply to your query/accusation.

Why you quoting me from a different thread? Stop chimping out and relax buddy.

Sorry, stop klanning around.

Reported!

Kidding!

Is no rassist he white, I dint du nuffin rong I's a gud boi.

I bought my first bike two years ago, a 1983 Honda CB1000C. I bought it as a hobby, since it was in need of repair, and as my daily driver to and from work. I did a lot of work to my bike, and I really loved the sense of freedom I got from riding on back country roads for hours on end. As a to and from work, it saved me gas money and freed up my car to be used by the wife.

That being said, after coming home from Thanksgiving last year, I wrecked my bike. It had rained the night before, the roads were wet. I take I-95 southbound in the mornings, and my on-ramp merges into an on-ramp from another road. The guy in front of me stopped at the yield when I was looking over my shoulder at the oncoming traffic ramp. I swerved, but clipped my handlebars on his tail light and lost control in the grass. I was lucky, since I was only wearing my work clothes and a balaclava. I broke my collar bone and had to have surgery. My shoulder still hurts, and it's been 7 months since the surgery. I also totaled my bike, which I had put a lot of time into at that point.

I recommend you always wear a helmet and a padded jacket. Some of the jackets nowadays are vented so well it's like you're not wearing them. Insure yourself and your bike.

Pics for fun.

Don't think of it as a toy. You're already off to a bad start if that's your attitude.
