Alex, Ted and I were talking the other night at the weekly North Jersey meet about getting motorcycles. I've always wanted one, but my parents would never let me get one. I figured since I'll be turning 21 in august, they might lighten up. I'm also gonna play up the "cheaper than a car" angle...insurance, gas, pretty much everything is cheaper with a bike. hopefully they'll crack and let me buy one. I plan on taking a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course at Farleigh Dickinson sometime soon, so I can bypass the road test at the DMV, and get an insurance break as well. Then, i'll have to find a bike...I want a Yamaha YZF-R6. from what i hear, they have good handling, and are a good beginner bike.

seems everyone I know is getting a motorcycle. Two guys in my class at school are getting Kawasaki ZX-6R's, and another guy may be getting a Suzuki GSX-R. He's ridden before, so he doesn't know if he'll go for a bigger bike than a 600. And a girl i'm friends with is getting a Triumph Sprint. I know Alex is looking for a GSX-R600.
