Well I got my bike, Ninja 400. Scored a sweet deal on it, gently cared for with 2k on the odometer. Completed my M1 exit course with RTI. Shes plated and road ready. Drove around my neighborhood the other night, felt amazing. Ill do that a bunch more before I hit the main streets. Funny how much...

Well I've got until the 28th to get a bike. I want to be insured by the 29th of this month. Day after my course(if all goes well!). Crunched some more numbers.. its more like 35-50 a month these bikes lose to depreciation. Seems so low to me! Compared to a car you buy for 50 grand new and 5...

I'm definitely looking at used. I always look used first if I can. Why take the big depreciation hit. But on average, I see a depreciation around 70 bucks a month and less on these.. i think at that price id rather have it new. Understanding that riding season is short here of course. A 2020 is...

Those are some really nice looking lids with amazing reviews. I must admit, I went with the icon airmada. Seems to have pretty decent reviews but wind noise seems to be the downfall on it. Safety wise seems really good. Choosing a helmet is difficult business!! The selections is huge! I do think...

Thanks for thay info on visor. Didnt even think about that, glad I asked. The mechanism to hold the extra visor is just more weight to be holding up on long rides i hope to do this summer plus the reduced safety factors you mention is huge to me being new. Curious if anyone has pricematch...

Yeah you're right, being as its an extra 50ish a month for that piece of mind, ill do that. I'm sure the insurance company will appreciate that too lol. But next year come renewal, if all goes well... I should see some good savings! From what I've read in the insurance sections on here anyway...

I originally was thinking work boots because I wear them every day and my footing is great in them as I have a very physical job. Guess someone that is not use to them, would feel very different and heavy/clumsy. I'm thinking ill wear my leather clarks though. Good ankle coverage, but no steel...

Yeah that fortnine site is awesome. I just need to try on helmets to know what size to get. But seeing as GP hopefully let's me try them on, ill give them my business. Fortnine had some great discounts on helmets though. I know Snow city site says they're not allowing ppl to try helmets on. I...

Yeah I guess when I hear work boots I assumed they meant composite or steel toe work boots... I wear 8" boots all day at work so they're like running shoes to me, but I will confirm with them tomorrow. Really impressed with GP bikes online store. I wil go by there this Thursday since they are...

Didn't realize that. I plan on buying it outright though

Hey guys/girls. Finally picked up my M1 last month. Not sure why I waited so long, think loved ones always talked me out of it in the past. Signed up for the m1 exit course with RTI near the end of July. Really looking forward to it! Been trying daily online to see if anyone cancels, no luck...

I called Learning Curves this afternoon, guy on the phone said they have started their classes but they are going through previously cancelled class lists before they schedule new ones
