Hey guys, I've been hanging around the forum for a few weeks and thought it time to say hello.. ive just been reading as much as I can to try and learn about this shit.
I havnt even got my licence yet, I'm planning on getting a loan for a bike, gear, lessons.. everything I need to get into it. Its always been a dream to have the means to ride, only just recently been in a position to do it.
So yeah, ive got a few questions:
1. where do you guys get your insurance? who's good around perth? expected cost of insuring an rgv250? (driving record only got 1 speeding fine over 2-3 years)
2. what stores and what gear do you recommend?
3. know any real good riding schools south of the river?
4. your views on an RGV 250 as a first bike? (all I hear about that is "you're an idiot", and that isnt exactly a helpful insight.)
5. What sort of money am I looking at for all this shit? I'm planning on 7k all up..
6. what exactly is required maintenance for a 2stroke? im decent with a spanner and mechanically minded, but no one ever says much more then 'oh 2 strokes need lots of maintenance.." and I've never touched a bike motor..
7. Why isnt the sky blue at sunset? Your FAQ wasnt too helpful with that one.. :?
anyway, bit about myself maybe? I'm 19 (20 in june), 1st year apprentice (Cert 3 Engineering - aircon and refrigeration).. used to be really into cars cuz of my mates. Always been drawn to bikes but none of my friends have a roadbike.. cars are missing a certain something, and I think bikes are the answer.. and since I first saw an RGV up close about a month ago, I cant stop bloody thinking about em, so now I have to get one. I even dream about the bastards!
its torture. sweet torture.
OK, I'll stop talking shit now. Cheers for your help.
