Beck Specific: Recommend me a bike.

MSF saved me a trip over a guardrail and into the river.
never look down while turning…

that and you would not believe how stupid people in cars really are.
riding a bike changes the way you drive a car.
If you expect the worst out of people, you will be ready when they try to merge into traffic while you are right next to them…
riding between a car and panel truck on the 33 is not fun.
neither is almost getting pushed of the GI bridge as idiots merge.

there is a reason bikers ride with steel balls, or large nuts, or stones in their pockets.

I started on and still have a 93 FZR 600R.
definatly not the fastest bike out there, but it works and ins. was $100/year.
