she's getting hers a little later... she's still figuring out some work issues (she's been unemployed since january, she's starting work at Chevron Corp. this week, so she just needs to pull some money together)

here in aus you have to ride a 250 for the first year or 2 until you can get a bigger bike unless you are over 6' or a certain weight.

i think every rider, regardless of age should take the MSF course as a requirement to get your moto license. I learned so much in those 3 days, that if i went out on my own, i would've taken a much longer time to learn how to ride properly, and could've probably had a higher rate of the possibility of injuring myself or others. There were people in my class that were just there to get a lower rate in insurance by completeing the class, and they were having a hard time with some of the practices items we were doing...

also, i think we should have a bracket system on the bikes you're allowed to drive depending on experience...

handing out licenses and permits without the above is just bad idea...

hell, a 16 year old kid with 0 riding experience can go out the day he gets his license and buy a busa if he felt inclined to...

The voice of reason...not many people understand the basic dynamics of throttle, steering, braking on 4-wheels, nevermind 2 wheels. There are so many out there that feels like they need to be on the latest and greatest...and next thing you know, they've wrapped themselves around a tree. I odn't feel so bad about that, b/c it's their choice. But it's when they inflict damage/hurt on others that really bothers me...

I mean, how many times do you see modifications that defy the mind on cars, and the driver has virtually no more skills than the next person on the road? :dunno:
