Man, that looks like a harley, but the reliability of a honda; I like that. /the last honda I worked on was a 60's "pit bike" for a buddy. We put new rings and bearings in it. Everything was pristine inside, but the materials in the important crap was total shit. We rebuilt it by replacing the original babbit bearings, and he's put thousands of miles on that little bike.
Have you looked into the college yet? If you take their class, you skip the written test here. I helped a couple of coworkers attempt to kill themselves. some people are unsuited for riding. The semi always wins, no matter how pissed you are, lol.EDIT: I left out 'entitled'. If you feelyou are entitled to a piece of road someone else is using, you will have a problem very soon. If you ride between semi's on the interstate, don't let them know you're there at all. They will take your ass out, no lol.
Yeah but the only college that offered it was Harper and stopped last year after an accident, there are a few similar courses elsewhere but nowhere near the Chicago area. Right now it looks like the only option is through a Harley dealer program which isn’t cheap, but at least it’s local. There are a bunch of hoops to jump through too (still need to go to the DMV for a state learners permit for the class) and they don’t even supply required gear the much cheaper college programs did (but of course you can buy it from the dealers).
I dunno, if I get the bike first I may just practice in the empty high school overflow lot down the street a few nights and go to the DMV and take the tests. I’ve been studying and know I could pass the written.
