1. Buy good gear 2. Take motorcycle course if you’ve never ridden before. 3. Buy a good cheap starter bike depending on how comfortable you are. (usually 600, 250 if you’re really uncomfortable) 4. Profit?? 5. Upgrade to a better bike the following year. As far as a second car… I don’t know where the confusion lies there. Keep the bike in the garage over winter, drive the car for rain and snow. I don’t ALWAYS ride my bike. It’s not like you can ONLY have the bike and I’m guessing you already have a car. So keep it and get the bike as a second vehicle. It doesn’t sound like your getting into this for the gas mileage, which is good, because that’s a really stupid way to go about it considering you normally lose money. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-couple-years-down-the-road/52875)._
