It's all good though cause I'm actually leaning towards an r6 as my next bike since they stopped making the Ducati I wanted. There are plenty of alternatives to gixxers out there.  |
Well there you go, you have prior background but for beginners that are new to bikes most don't realize that you can get seriously hurt just learning in the parking lot, especially if it's a powerful or heavy bike. I've seen beginners have some pretty painful mess ups and I'm sure most of the people there didn't think what they saw would be seen there or could happen to them while learning there. Actually from my experience most beginners i've seen go into learning to ride with the assumption that they could drop the bike and at worse it could fall on them until they get on the street where they could have a collision with a car, none seem to expect that they roll a wheelie or a stoppie or that they crash into a wall 50' away. That's all I'm saying, beginners never really know the possible bad things that could happen while learning.
