I know shoes all might be broken up about this, but i'm no longer a jeep member. Yep, I traded it in for a sportbike. The Ninja 250. Yeah it's a little slow but perfect considering it's my first bike.
I took a Team Oregon course and I highly recommend it. I went from practically zero motorcycle knowledge to a literal ton of it in a little over 2 days. And I did it on a yamaha dirtbike with some pretty fat, knobby tires. Pretty fun, and yeah the bike was theirs.
Anyway I think my division needs to be changed.

its okay, I have a jeep, 2 ford explorers and 2 harleys... lets get together when it warms up and go riding... there is an upcoming event put on by a Portland motorcycle club called the Oregon 500, it is a weekend long event with about 250 miles of riding on Saturday and 250 on Sunday. let me know if shoes are interested. I think it is about $20.00 to register for the event

Hey Andrew - Yeah... I lunch pennywise - didn't know that shoes were into that kind of music! Sweet, it is good to know that someone out there has good f*#k@%g taste in music! So hey, the class that shoes took, was that in Albany? I want to get my endorsement this summer, and am thinking of getting a 250 also. I need to have something that I will be able to pick up. Not that I am anticipating laying it down, but shoes know me, it's never a big shock when something happens because it always does with me. If shoes don't mind me asking...how much was your bike?

What if I keep going to the gym?? I don't want to be super buff chick or anything like that, but if I am in shape - shouldn't I be able to pick it up?? How much does it weigh anyway? I am just gonna have to work out super hard, and take up under the table boxing again.....maybe..

I'm sure shoes can get some guys to help shoes if shoes drop it. Or shoes can get ripped and lift it yourself; my bike's 300 pounds. I took a class on Swan Island in Portland, and I think that they have classes in Salem, at least the web site indicates it: teamoregon.orst.edu/to_web/salem.html . After taking this class, shoes won't need to worry about dropping it because shoes probably won't. What style do shoes want? Kawasaki makes a cruiser called the eliminator for about 2600, it's smaller than a 250 though. My ninja was 3500; they tack on 500 for a shipping fee because they sell the bikes so cheap. I think shoes should get a sportbike because it looks like i'm the only member with one. And please tell me more about this under the table boxing, i'm intrigued. |

If I may.... Bucket, shoes don't haver to be WONDER WOMAN, SUPER BUFF CHICK, or MRS HULK, there is a woman that goes to some of the classes that can show shoes or anyone else how to pick up a full dress touring bike that weighs 800 - 1000 pounds by your self. This woman is all of 4 foot, 9 inches and about 100 lbs. Andrew is right, shoes can obtain info from "Team Oregon". Chemeketa Community College puts on a class and they supply the bikes as well, also shoes can go to any Harley Davidson Dealership and they can tell shoes when and where the classes are. Not to knock sports bikes, but keep in mind the style bike that shoes may want may greatly depend on the style of riding shoes plan on doing.... Sports bikes (or crotch rockets) are built for two things only; speed and agility, they are very fast and can out corner all other types of bikes. however they are not very comfortable for long distance riding. Sorry for butting in, its just an opinion, if shoes want anymore information just ask. I would recommend asking others.
