Interesting point, but riding safely + properly using bike is unfortunately not the only issue when trying to stay alive. As mentioned, that Asian lady in the SUV has nothing to do with how you properly use your bike.
So my 2012 R6 is my first bike, I used to work at a dealership and I had rode almost every bike on the US market, but of course that was all in parking lots and quick test rides, I immediately used some of my financing to buy gear to be protected but what has saved my life about a dozen times on california rods was the MSF course I took. Without being taught in course how to react to being cut off, I dont think I would be alive to type this message today. Thanks to the course I can ride rather safe but still thrill seeking as most who purchase an R6 are. This is my first day on forum but I just wanted to ask about performance upgrades and what you think of them, which are good, which are not.
Good read- I have friends who ask me to teach them to ride on my R6, I tell them: it's better to start on a small 250.
My first bike was a 2005 ZX-6R :/
My first bike was a 2 Cylinder 1985 Honda rebel 250.
My second was a 2 Cylinder 2005 Buell Blast 500.
Now I'm on my R6. I'll be sending this out to my noob buddies, too.
PS. I love this part: "Going fast in a straight line takes no skill, and cruising past the mall in a wifebeater and sandals takes even less."
:lmao
Breezed through it and it looks awesome... Subbed to come back and read the rest later.
