Hello everybody just a newb sayin high. I bought a 09 (red )about a week and a half ago. I'm kinda of a double newb i guess as its also my first bike.
2 things that bite are:
1- I dont have a bike license yet and with my work schedule its gonna be about a month before i can get to a dmv to even get a permit and
2- my wife hasnt talked to me since i bought the bike lol. guess I should have told her before she went to work that I was gonna go "look" at bikes. To make things worse i bought 2 bikes, the other is a honda crf50 for my six year old.

I bought the bike as my soulution to the crazy gas prices and also its small enough that i might, just maybe if the stars all line up right get her a bit interested and then pawn this bike off on her and get me something else in a few years.

 

Welcome, you're wife will get over it once she she's your smile after getting on the bike.

 

Welcome noob, boy are you in trouble, didn't tell the wife and bought a bike for her offspring, if I did that I would have been shot on the spot. Anyway why not sign up for a rider course, save you on insurance and also gives you a bit of confidance. Welcome to the world of bikes, and if you need a number for a good divorce lawyer,well you know.

 

i'm military so the rider course is a must. I cant lie though once they were delivered.....
my son got to ride his first for a few minutes then i took mine up and down the street a few times. just wish my damn work hours werent so crazy right now usually out the door by 4 am and back home around 8 pm.

 

Welcome noob, its all good, if she is like my wife she will be asking for her own bike in 6 months.

 

Welcome, and I know you will enjoy the 09!!!
The only question you will have to ask yourself is "when do I stop modding it?"

 

thats if i ever get my allowance back lol

 

I can stop anytime I want.............I just don't want to yet.[8D]

 

Congrats on the bike im sure you love it as much as i love mine. I took my wife with me to the dealer. Before i bought it i asked her " Now hun are you going want to buy something just because im buying this bike?" She said no but you know what they thinking. We must all try to think like a women thinks, maybe she might want some new furniture now. Grins.


Sudo

 

we already got new furniture and fridge and i offered up a new front load washer and dryer.

she's just jelous cause i got to many toys lol
surfboard
skateboard
pocketbike
bmx bike
73 mustang
and now motorcycles.....

she was warned i have been looking at harleys for the longest but thought this would be a much chaeper/practical way to get started since i have to drive across a rocky creek bed for work.

and for everything i get my son gets one to lol
