Also to the OP, if you know any of your friends that are looking to ride, or any beginner riders like yourself team up with them. Ask them for advice and whenyou get comfortable on your bike after the first few times out, try to start riding with them. You want to ride with people that are at the same level as youjust about. Not saying you can't ride with somebody that been on it for few years or so, but you don't want to feel pressure when your out thereriding is someone is more experienced than you. Also, riding with a friend or friends will make your riding experience more enjoyable.

If I wasn't 98% sure that I would kill myself, I'd have a bike by now.
But I am too reckless.

I have ridden dirt bikes for a couple of years, so I have the motorcycle basics down. Should I still take the MSF course just for insurance benefit?
Also, how many miles is too many on a used sport bike? I was looking at a few with over 20,000, which is fine, but I don't want to have it die 5000 milesafter.

^depends on your insurance.. call em up and ask if they offer a discount for taking and passing the MSF course.

I'm guessing Craigslist. At least that's how I've always interpreted it.

i've never understood why people wear shorts when on a bike. there is always the chance of falling.. why on earth would you take the chance of more injuryto your body with shorts on?

if you fall while riding a bike still stradling (sp?), the last thing you are concerned about is road rash. jeans won't help much bud.
like they say
"why the HELL would you go 180 in a 50....your going to kill yourself"
"yes, but you'd also kill yourself going 50"
it's a bikers mind set i guess.....
i'd be scared $%$*%**@ of anything more than 80km/h and that would get me SHOOK, so i'd prob stick to res
