    Honda Grom Insurance

    Not trying to push you away from the Grom.. but do talk to the instructors and folks on here as to why to Grom or not to Grom.. I think its a fun 2nd bike.. but for a daily commuter.. I'd say get something bigger so at least you can get in and out of harms way... As @Evoex says.. the pick up for...

    M2 riding course

    I think they were initially cool with it because.. 1) they prolly didn't think you would go thru with it.. and 2) they prolly didn't think you'd pass... Either way.. congrats and be safe! I was a new rider last year... and for me.. I think the most nerve racking thing was getting on the my...

    Folks... Sincerely want to see there is a way around it... Situation... I wear glasses. I have an HJC RPHA 11 Pro helmet with Pinlock insert... and I find the breath deflector is not really directing my exhaled air to the bottom part of the helmet... so whenever the weather gets a little...

    Motorcycle Supershow Reviews 2024 Edition
