first and only "crash" was last year. it was my first time getting on a bike, actually. imagine that!

i had just purchased a honda vtx 1300cc cruiser. i know it's huge for a starter, but i figured if i learn on a beast i can ride anything; and i figured i needed something powerful to travel on without fear of burning out the engine (and i'm like 250 lbs anyway, so it balances nicely).


Dude, I'm 5'10, 245lb, and my 600cc Shadow VLX will haul my rear end to 80 with no problems whatsoever. I took my Class M test on a Harley Wide Glide that is like 1700cc (my Dad's) and it still to this day scares the poo poo out of me. I'm so glad I didn't pre-order the VMAX that I had planned on buying. CA's advice is GOLD. Then again, I guess I'm "preaching to the converted" huh?
