125cc bike
+650 euro
+cheap insurance
+great mileage
-underpowered
-will sell it when I get to drive bigger bikes in 6/12 months

250cc bike
+decent power
+rides great
+prob won't sell it immidietly when I get to drive bigger bikes in 6/12 months
-1500 euro
-expensive insurance

Now for the next 6/12 months I won't be doing anything else but riding round the city and learning, not going on any trips. Prob just commuting, (anywhere betwee 10 and 40km a day max).

250cc, which what we use for learnin' here in the states. you will WANT WANT WANT the extra power as you get comfortable, possibly within the month. 125cc is waaaaaaay too gutless.

125cc declares that you will service maximum cock in any nearby loo, and that you will cry the whole time.

i roll on a 153cc scooter. my jaw hasn't stopped aching, and my tear ducts are almost dry. however, i would STILL roll harder than you on a 125cc ride. THINK ABOUT IT.

I can't have a bike that has less cc then your scooter.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #7 on:** May 30, 2012, 07:43:05 AM »

How many cc is your bike?

My dad actually emailed me saying that 250cc will be boring too quickly so in a year id want to switvh anyways. so for now I might as well go for the cheap one to learn to ride.

Its nice to share things like this with biker dad.

Riding a motorcycle is generally not a good idea. You would think so too if you've seen the mushy brains of people who fell off their bikes through no fault of their own.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #11 on:** May 30, 2012, 01:46:01 PM »

Actually, I'm curious in the process of getting a motorcycle license in Ireland. You say "when I get to ride bigger bikes in six months". Does that mean you are restricted to 250 or less right now? When would you be able to ride a liter bike? In the States, at least Oklahoma, as soon as you pass your test you can go out and buy a Hayabusa if you wanted.

It's not the CC even.

The ‘A’ is Learner Permit from 18 years of age for motorcycles, with or without a sidecar, subject to a power limit before the Driving Test and for 2 years afterwards of 25Kw/34bhp. or a power to weight ratio of less than 0.16kW per kg) – the restriction continuing for two years after taking out a full licence in that category. However, at a cost, virtually any bike can have its power reduced to come within these limits.

So after I get the full license I can buy a bigger bike but have to restrict it.

borys has a crush on you. let him suck your dick and you'll be cool. make it easier on him by getting a 250cc bike.

Borys is jealous of all the fresh pussy you get to fuck in the daily. He gets some leftover sunbaked tomatoes.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #14 on:** May 30, 2012, 01:54:53 PM »

Maaaaaaaan my gf needs to chip in if I want the 250cc

My learner permit will prevent me from having passengers so I can't let Borys hop on.

I'm thinking of buying an '09 Harley Davidson Softail Heritage. I've got a buddy whose g/f doesn't let him ride anymore so he's selling it. It only has 8000 miles on it and he already has equity in it. I'll be buying it for 15k. I'm not really familiar with bikes but I love the look of HD's and his is especially nice and well cared for. Any thoughts?

Borys is mad jelly. Shit, Lager, you get so much action, there are days I'm jelly, too.

Get the 250cc, but ride safe and buy protective gear. Remember the old ad slogan? "Got a $5 head? Wear a $5 helmet."

Gloves, too. Don't skimp there if you enjoy having fingers.

chronovore · « **Reply #24 on:** June 04, 2012, 06:24:36 PM »

Fair point.

The guy made the point to me initially had some rags he referred to as his $20,000 gloves. He'd been in an accident, and the surgery and therapy to recover use of his hands had cost that much, because (he said) he had bought cheap gloves. Now he has some serious gloves.

Im dropping my panties right now.

Anyhoo I have to wait another month to buy any bike, no cash!
