fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck... why did you show me that. shouldnt have looked. saving up for my first bike

E: I think for every 10 or so awful bike pictures and stories in this thread, there should be one good statistic to make us all feel better. Especially aspiring new riders :)

We get awesome mileage for the most part. So when we die well die with a thick wad of extra cash in out back pockets.

Makes me feel a lot better. I would never think to drink and drive, hell i already hate driving my scooter hung over. And yeah actually, I'm very irresponsible with maintenance. But once I save for a new bike I'll keep on that. Oh and not the appropriate thread, but z3n you suggested I should get a beater bike to get some practice on so I don't damage a nice sv650. Solution... http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/mcy/1336480756.html

if you've decided on an SV.

Trust me, I been decided for quite some time. I actually remember thew first time I saw one. I had never been a fan of sportsbike looking bikes, was into the cafes and stuff. (nothing against sports bikes, a few look amazing, most to me are just meh)

I was walking out of albertsons with a friend when I saw it and I actually said aloud "Holy poo poo.. what is that :O" Turned out to be a silver sv650 with only the head fairing. Pointy too no less. Wanted one ever since.

Figure I'll add some thread related content. Searched a few pages didn't see this. I bit more lighthearted than most of this thread.

Come on everyone knows you gotta burn off some of the rubber of them new tires. Even I knew that :doh:

E: Crash report: It was a sunday afternoon. Was visiting my girlfriend that day, she lives in one of the aparment complexes with the really black paved roads. I'm sure some of you know EXACTLY what I mean. The real slick stuff. I had rode there on my scooter a couple times before, only to be grilled by her harley riding neighbor. It had been raining that day but was sunny now. I decided today I was gonna be a man. as I speed up to well over the suggested 5 miles ( I might have been doing 7! :O ) I attempted to round the sharp corner in a smug manner as i gave him a smart rear end nod and a thumbs up. I rounded the corner just fine, it was all over, I had won. But the backside of my scoot decided it wasnt finished turning yet. So I did almost a 360 before falling on my rear end and bashfully picking up my scooter and walking to my girls house in front of the neighbor and a few of his harley riding friends with huge smiles on their faces.

Thankfully this is the extent of my accident experience.
