I wish i could get a new bike! GF thinks they are to dangerous on the street, but she says that i could get one for the racetrack though! I just dont know when i would have time to go and do a couple of laps, and the nearest track is like 260km from home so...!
I have had bikes my whole life and the last one i had was the new fireblade that i bought when it was released in 2000. Had to sell that in 2002 when the dotcoms went belly up and i lost alomst all my money:-(
But i still have my first "heavy" bike left, the old yamaha tzr 250 2 stroke:-)
Its in parts though and in my brothers workshop, it has been in parts since 94 i think and i can never seem to get around to puting it together!
But its a fun bike, not as powerfull as the blade or r1 but much faster on narrow roads with a lot of curves:-)
TZR 250 (newer)

Dangerous is everything on the road, even driving a car. If you check statistiks from insurance companies most accidents are solo or caused by the drivers carelessness and its mostly young people, what i meant when i said it aint to dangerously is if you drie legaly and to that limit your capable of then its really not that dangerous.

Man it makes me so happy when i hear (new?) riders are taking the courses.  Even if your not going to race; you should do the race school as well. It helped me to know my limits.
Is it nice where you live, god i wish i lived somewhere i could ride year round, its gonna hit like minus 20 C here next week.
Hopefully next summer im going to pickup a new CRF 450R for off road. That bike is insaine.
Have fun, and like Godlikez says; get some good leathers, and dont cheap out on a helmet. Its your head right. Keep her rubber side down

Pah! locking away your baby just because its cold outside...you...you...Sunday Rider! 
I will probably use the R6 less but I will still nontheless commute on the zxr400, even in the ice and snow hehe last year was really bad when I used my rs125......I had my fair share of "brown pants" moments with the back end constantly weezing out on invisble ice and chip marks on the fairing because of those pesky salt throwing lorrys, with that said its fun spinning the rear wheel on ice
Your so lucky SOSbigperm it takes next to nothing to be able to ride a bigger bike over there in the US/Canada over here we have to take our CBT then take our theory test then apply for a Direct Access course and if your lucky you pass otherwise you just wasted £300-£900 on a test you just failed! the system and examiners are VERY strict and you wont pass unless you have real experience/confidence
Oh yes its all very good buying a blade or a busa with 1300cc's kicking the tarmac but over here try gettin insured on either with 0/1 years no claims bonus, be sure your rich! or it wont happen.
I have 3 years no claims and im still paying £290 fully comp for my zxr400, and £435 for my R6. If i were you userfriendly I would ring around for insurance, save yourself a whole load of dosh in the long run.
Your definantly right about the CRF SOSbigperm....its a monster though I've been on the prowl for a DT125 for a couple of months now, that special bargain still hasnt turned up.
Track riding is something I will do but quite simply dont have that kind of money floating around at the moment, its usally around £150 for a 7 or so hour session and that is alot of money. I have thought about riding to france/germany as I know they have very cheap trackdays in some places as cheap as €15!! obviously I'd imagine corners would have to be cut such as a minute number of marshalls and there would be more than your fair share of riders on the track.
I have been to Donnington/Brands/Cadwell and watched friends compete but as of yet still havent tried it myself.

Sunday rider..phhh i just wanna keep her outa the cold. When we get a chinook ill do some gravel riding. I try to ride everyday i can, free parking at the office if i ride. And its time to tear her apart, pm and detail. Gonna put a undertail kit on, led lights and hopefully i can aford to put on some new pipes.
Man that sucks about your insurance and tests. Ill admit that i found our test a little to easy. The guys at the beginning of the week that were dropping there bikes passed at the end of the week. Yikes. I passed with zero demerits. First street bike i owned was a 89 GSXR 750, a legend in its time. But nothing compared to my 1000RR, best handling bike i have ever rode.

Lol to dangerous? 
As long as you drive normally theres nothing dangerous with it. |
Eh? I dont know how long you have been riding, but it seems you are not really aware of the risks, get back to me when you have lost a couple of friends.
