i know i said i'd never do it.... but i'm starting to consider it.
3/4 of my friends have 'em and 1 or two more are talking about it.
i'm starting to feel left out
I have no idea what i want.
most of my friends have gone to cruisers (shadows, etc) but i really don't think i want one.... i'm more into the 'rocket' seating position
I really don't care about doing 190mph.
i more want it to just cruise around with.
i'm a big dude, and i really don't want a 250 more for looks than power....
frankly, i'm quite happy with the speed of an XR50
i'm thinking a 600 is good for me. with my weight on it, its still more than enough power that i'll ever want or need....
I'm probably going to sign up for the class that the local CC offers.

Motorcycle Rider Education
Tunxis Continuing Education is the Winner of the National Motorcycle Safety Foundation's
Outstanding Community Training Sponsor Award!
Motorcycling is one of the most exciting forms of transportation. Part of the thrill is knowing that you are totally responsible for every action taken-from timing each shift to keeping a keen eye out for other motorists. To understand these responsibilities and get the most from your experience, a Basic Connecticut Motorcycle Rider course is the place to start. Expert instruction is offered to both the beginner and the experienced rider. Students must have a valid driver's license or current Connecticut motorcycle permit, the ability to ride a bicycle, and lots of enthusiasm (persons under 18 need a parent's consent).
A 10% insurance discount and exemption from the Motor Vehicle Department's on-cycle skills test are offered to students upon their successful completion of this program.
Basic Motorcycle Rider Course-Riding & Street Skills
The course, which includes six hours of classroom instruction and 12 hours of on-cycle training is designed to help individuals with little or no riding experience achieve a better understanding of what is involved in operating a motorcycle. Classes are held eveings and weekends, & vary between three and four sessions. You must have a driver's license or motorcycle permit and be physically able to operate a motorcycle. Motorcycles will be provided.
Fee: $165 nonrefundable.
