This looks painful

Being the curious cat that i am i went online to check out some of crashes done on a street bike. I found some pic on this forum and let me tell you these do not look pretty. They are so painful it makes me think twice about bike safefy. The pictures just put a gut wreching feeling down ur stomach, makes me question how bad i really want this. But in the end it also taught me to respect safety. I feel that if these pictures where showed in MSF safety classes young kids like myself would be more considerate for safety. Thats why im going to post the link to help new riders like myself take a step back and look at the whole picture. Ill post the links to the pic but let me warn you these are not for the FAINT of here. Def still wanna get a bike but now im gonna pay extra attetion to safety

Dont Mess With the Biker Grandma

The Idea

I dont know about everyone out there but the idea of getting a street bike would defintaly not go too well around my house. I dont think my dad would mine me having one, but i can see the terrified look in my mothers face if i every did get one. Thats why this is so great, currently living in a off campus apartment when if I get one I can keep it here and they would never know about it. Well. . . when they do figure it out i would have gotten plenty of driding exprience for them to say no. They definatly would never ever help me pay for my bike, and thats why im tryin to find any way of making an income to help me pay for this

SQUID

A term used by street bikers. . .

S.Q.U.I.D. (Some Quick Unimportant Immature Dumbass)
Squid- A rider who acts in a way that brings a bad name to the sport. Anyone who has a blatent disregard for their safety, as well as the safety of others. Also, someone who thinks they know everything there is to know about the sport, and is too stuck up to take advice (when in reality they need a LOT of it)

Is it just me?

I dont know what it is, maybe its my new found interest for a street bike but i could swear i have been seeing more and more street bike on the roads these days. I think street bikes are being to pick up more and more amoung people my age group (college students). Just think about it a full tank of gas on a street bike wont put a big hole in your wallet and gets you near 500miles. . . you cant beat that. I also notice theres more mention of street bike in the media. Just today when i was drive on the radio there was a ad for the new Kawasaki ZX-6 sports bike. The week before that I was watching the speed channel and all they had on was super bike racing. Most of the races where in europe. Maybe Im new to this but i dont seem to think there is much of that here in America

Pocket Bikes

Pocket Bikes are designed in class and style to that of a mini-motorcycle. Its well-built aluminum frame gives it a sleek look of a racing style bike. Their top speeds range from between 34-45 mph, however thats all depended on the riders weight. Most pocket bikes are equipped with either a 49cc or a 47cc two stroke engine with a centrifugal clutch. Pocket Bikes comes with front and rear disc brakes. Pocket bikes have very good acceleration and therefore can hurt you like any street bike.

Application

Applied for a work study job today they said they would get back to me in a week. Hopefully i get this job so i can start saving up for that bike. As u can assume work study doesn't pay much so im probably going to find another job while doing the work study . . . man, i cant wait till i hop on to that bike and take that first ride and getting that excitiment as the adrenaline circulates through ever blood vessel. . . in due time, just wish that time was now.

Donation

toss up Suzuki GSX-R600

I still havent made my mind yet its a toss up between the Yamaha R6 or this ride the Suzuki GSX-R600. This is the ride that started it all for me, was workin over the summer and my boss had this ride, the picture does it no justice up close it's a piece of art

Blogging My Experience

The reason why i thought this would be a great idea to make this street bike blog, is because there isnt much information on the internet about how you go about taking safety classes, to buying a motorcycle and i figured this would be a great way for people who have gone through this to post their comment. Also the blog was design to help those who are interesting in getting a motorcycle, or street bike.

Just the thought

Just the thought of getting a street bike, makes me not able to keeps my eyes shut. Like the kid that eagerly awaits chrismas morning i find myself thinking about it day and night. Too bad my desire and ambition to get one is not back up by my bank account. This week im gonna try to go around town looking for whatever job i can find, i don't even mind working a minimum wage. Whatever pays the bills and brings me closer to that dream bike, Im eargerly willing to go through.

New Links

I guess i was wrong. Check out the links there are some great Blogs out there about street bikes.

Yamaha YZF-R6

there she is the Yamaha YZF-R6, figure i would get a 600cc seeing how i have no riding experience. Oh for those who dont know a 600cc referes to the engine size, therefore the bigger the engize size the more horsepower i.e the faster it goes. Do get me wrong 600cc is no small engine
