zomg. have you ever rode one? :-p well anyway, thanks. its not really the style of bike i'm into (i'm more into a cruiser or touring style (even though this is technically a sport-touring bike)) but the price was right. and it looks good on me

I kid, I kid. I've always wanted a motorcycle, I've just never been suicidal enough to buy one. 'Grats.

Nice one, but not my style.
I should get my motorcycle license by the end of the month, and the motorcycle is already there, waiting for me...

pish posh. lol your bike looks tight, but i don't like sport bikes (although mine is a dual-sport (sport-touring) bike. so i can actually sit up on it without a back ache (i'm 6'3")) but what do you mean its "waiting for you" you already have it? just waiting on the license??? and if thats the case. jeezuz man, be careful, a 750 on a straight sport bike is... like murder on wheels lol.

but to be honest although i love my new bike its not really my style i go for either, i'm more of a cruiser or touring style. but with this one the price was right, and i couldn't pass it up :-p

Tasty.

thanks its got balls for sure. i didn't think a 650 would move me (i'm 6'3" about 215lbs) the way it does. but shit, i barely touch the excelerator and i'm gone.

Yes, that's the exact situation. But that's OK, I'm used to drive motorcycles.
I had a 125cc for 3 years, and I drove a lot on a BMW F650GS.
On the other hand, you're right.. this GSX-F if a beast and I will drive very carefuly at start... at start...

I'd say that it sounds like someone is bucking for a promotion, except you're already a global mod.

Been considering it for you actually.

On topic:
Congrats rellikpd
I've always thought that a motorbike would be loads more fun than a car. According to Enligh law I'm old enough to get a moped lisence but not old enough to drive a car (you have to be 17+) but I'm really not interested in driving right now, I want to move to the US within the next few years which makes me think I'm going to be learning to drive there rather than in my motherland... which makes me like this -

My great uncle lives about 150 miles from where valve are based and mum said that was near [in american terms].... its hardly near[in english terms]. I guess if did relocate then I'd have to get my head around 50 miles not being a long way.

lol @ that. i live in texas. which (was) the biggest state in the union (before that bastard alaska stole it from us) from a random southern town, to a random northern town is 888.36 miles... and thats not even from the borders. i just picked 2 towns closest to the borders that i could find. there's probly about another 40-60 miles tacked onto each side of that...

And don't feel bad about alaska; It's almost as big as the rest of the continental united states (If not in actual landmass, but in "wow that is spread out when you put one on top of another"). I blame mysoginistic mercator projections of the earth for giving us an improper view of places like greenland (Which is quite large), alaska, and even the old USSR.

Screw miles. Everyone should measure in easily scalable measurements. I.E., Kelvin and Metric.
