    Insurance for YZF R6

    That quote isn't too bad. I got quotes from SF for CBR600RR, FZ6, and FZ6R. It was $1800ish for 600cc, SV650/Ninja 650 were $2000ish. And this is with 31yo, 10+yr G, 2yr M2, and no car under the policy.

    http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?180032-SHOEI-RF-1100-and-Quest-Close-Out-GTAM-Members-Only!-(Price-Match-Also) A bit over your price range, but pretty good deal for what used to be a $500 helmet.

    Riding: Is it really worth it?

    I've only rode for 2yrs, but I think about it too. For a hobby, it's not bad for now, I've spent $1-2k golfing for a few years, then probably similar amount doing airsoft before that, so spending ~$2k a year on riding isn't too extravagant. But for the next jump, going into a bigger bike...

    Stealerships drive me crazy!

    Some salesman are clueless, others act dumb so they let you feel knowledgeable and superior while they try to milk you.

    Shoei GT-Air Group Buy? Sound's too good to be true?

    That's still $100 cheaper than Revzilla, maybe a bit too good to be true.

    Noob Riding errors..plz help

    When I did my course at RTI at 401/404, I found most people's problems were they kept lining up to try the new drills. I spent more time going to the empty lines getting more time actually riding than idling in a line. But at the same time, I also understand riding in a parking lot is very...

    Day 1 of MSF: my thoughts on my day

    I took my course last month, I'm pretty sure my thumb was sprained holding in the Hyosung clutch all day (since the thing refuses to go into neutral unless it was off). I was VERY intimidated on the bike, felt probably similar to what you are feeling. On day 2, when they taught more exercise...

    Yep, more businesses should offer flex hours, so not everyone is in a race to get to work by 9am!

    victim of Road Rage, hit and run by a coworker, how should I handle this?

    You can report it to the collision center, and I would advise you to as well before your co-worker claimed you rear-ended him. Also, just because you're reporting the accident, this doesn't automatically go onto your insurance record. Insurance mostly care about claims you have made, not...

    Any good financing deals around?

    If interest is low, and there isn't much cash discount, then wouldn't it make sense to finance?

    Anyone got the new Joe Rocket Phoenix 11.0 Mesh jacket yet?

    My friend just got one, within the first week, the button snapped off when he was un-buttoning the arm part. Might be just individual jacket, otherwise, the jacket itself fits pretty nice and pretty breezy.

    Kahuna powersports - nice experience, not!

    Yeah, it's a shame some companies don't deal well with internet sales, but I understand their point of view though. I can't speak for bike business, but a buddy worked in car sales a while ago. He said there's a lot of emails coming in asking for quotes and what not, and 90+% of the time, the...

    The "I've quit" thread

    Stopped smoking 226 days ago after about 12yrs of smoking. Listened to "Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking", realized every "fantasy" I had about smoking were only excuses. Smoking relaxes me, excuses. Smoking makes me more social at parties, excuses. Smoking does this, smoking does that...
