As its said student that benefits most from said education, his parents should a) be saving for his post secondary education as part of being good parents and deciding to have children entails said committment combined with b) said student should work to save any delta himself that remains...

I just am always surprised when price controls & rationing and eat-the-rich b.s. inevitably result in a crappy service from a socialist driven model and people refuse to acknowledge the root cause as socialism. All the tweaks in the world cannot avoid that you need to privatize as much as...

Definately take it. The lightbulb that went on during the 'push steering' segment as to why I was having such trouble cornering at speed was worth the whole course.

Dont. Pools can actually reduce resale value, and in my experience are a maintenance pain in the arse. To make it useful for long season you need a heater -- which amps up the $'s even more. Sorry but IMHO, don't. Hit the beach on vacations, pools at hotels, etc; use the money saved for...

New Honda 250 CBR; light, ABS(!), upright seating, fuel injected, yet torque'y for city riding.

Upgraded my m1 to m2 yesterday, and took my first night ride -- with a quick hop onto the highway... Riding at night is a whole other animal -- the standard headlight on my 2007 GS500F didn't illuminate enough of the road ahead to get set up for corners, at the speed I have so far been hitting...

+1 to tougher G test, specifically -- not doing a shoulder check before changing lanes s/b an immediate fail; I've almost been smoked twice this season by a cabbie & distracted chick cutting me off with a lane change

Higly recommend the gen mar risers, they cured my sore wrists and crotch (from humping it to get forward enough to the grips on my gs500f)If anyone is having wrist, back (or crotch) pain that no amount of core muscle training can cure, recommend adding risers http://www.zianet.com/genmar/

If I was king... M1: - 250cc limit - must wait 120 days before upgrading to M2, unless taking a riders course -- then its 60 days wait (create added incentive for taking a riding course) M2: - 600cc limit

By exrension of this r-tards logic then the max speeding limit s/b 60kmh, and we should all be forced to drive prius's or electrics, and wrap ourselves in protective bubble wrap perhaps before stepping out of doors. This is classic intrusive liberalism at it's finest, chipping away at freedoms...

Statistically most motorcycle accidents happen at intersections where a cager coming the other way makes a left hand turn in front of the rider. Another popular gotcha is pulling out of a driveway or side street in front of a rider.This alone has me +1 on riding with my hi's always on, and I'll...

+1 Cabs are farking evil -- its like they are trying to kill you. In my m2 class they said people turning left at intersections in front of you are the biggest accident causes, but I have my money on it being a cab that sneaks up on me and cuts me off that has my number on it...

I picked up a ballistic nylon Joe Rocket jacket in the spring, which I liked for its lightness and inbuilt panels on the back and elbows... But as things warm up, this sucker doesn't breathe at all -- being black doesn't help either. Is this as good as it gets, or will going to leather somehow...

What do most folks carry to put under their kickstand to prevent it going through soft/hot pavement and the bike falling over on really hot days? I came back to my ride quicksanding a little like this the other day like this and it has me a bit freaked...

+1 on rev a little higher before shifting, and back off the throttle just before releasing the clutch if upshifting. Also, go to a parking lot and just sit there in first -- slowly letting the clutch out without applying gas, and pulling the clutch back in again to learn the friction point on...

An approach they taught in m2 class was to slowly drift and align yourself directly in front of the driver. Tailgaters like to shift to your left or right a little to see around you while tailgating -- to see whats ahead of you; if you keep slowly sliding over to match them and keep yourself...

Drat, left the ignition in 'park' mode with the parking lights on for the last 3 hours; now I have the added anxiety of wondering if it will turn over for the ride home...I feel like such a newb.

After a few weeks of building confidence in my local neighborhood -- I tackled the dreaded commute ride to work downtown this morning. Not as bad as I expected, until I hit the core and was riding the clutch constantly. Definately need a squishy ball or hand exerciser to train up... But, am I...

If you want to go right, push on the right handlebar; which is initially counterintuitive to a new rider. This is push or countersteering no?...

+1 Bought a gs500f as a newb myself, enough power to hit the highway when I'm ready -- but not too scary/heavy/twitchy before I learn up; should keep me engaged for a couple of seasons
