        @injunjack it's only wrong until he can manage his own finances to be able to buy his own. I reward his academic and athletic successes by paying for his car, cell phone, training,housing and clothing, if he really wants a bike he can save and pay for it himself! I give him advice all the time, he chooses what he listens to. By law he's grown man and can do as he wants. He realizes he will have lots of time to ride and only a short while left to compete seriously in football. Contractually a lot of professionals are even allowed to ride motorcycles anyway. @johnathon sorry about your father, I know how challenging that can be as I went through the same thing with my Mom. I made my decision not to ride until I put my family in a position that they would be financially secure if I weren't around. I want him to have that choice, I made many poor decisions as youngster and try to give my kids advice not to limit them but to have them make well though out decisions on everything and when they can't then I make them for them…jk.
        I do value both your opinions though as they help me look at things in a different light, but as my wife says I may listen but it's not likely I'm going to change my mind...lol.
        @mp - ^ that's a sweet bike!

            MCN are reporting that Suzuki are going to be putting the Recursion into production. Before you get your hopes up, they're not the most accurate of sources.

            For those of you who haven't been following it, the Recursion was a concept bike that was unveiled in 2013. Its mission statement was to give litre bike power from a turbocharged 588 cc parallel twin, in a lighter and more fuel efficient package. OK, the claimed figure of 99 bhp is down on the big boys, but peak torque was said to be 74 ft lbs, and is half respectable.

            MCN have produced a render, which is probably hugely inaccurate…

            The idea really appeals to me. If it's not sized for midgets, as a lot of Japanese bikes are, then I'll be looking into it if it comes out.

              Speaking of forced induction, here's a first ride of a Ninja H2. I'm sure that the voice over is being done by Peter Griffin…

                Finally finished all my winter upgrades (new apes, lowered backend, relocated front urn signals) by adding my solo bag. Ready for summer.

                  Dipping my bike as we speak. Got a super dark blue. Might add some flake to it, just seeing if I want black or copper accent flake.

                          might be getting my first bike this weekend.

                          a 1980 KZ750 owned by the same person since 1982. It's pretty clean.

                                  has anyone actually downed a bike in ironhearts? i would imagine they really wouldnt be any more protective than any other jeans except in very minor accidents.

                                  dont tell my mom and girlfriend that cause thats the only way i can justify spending a couple hundreds of dollars on jeans while they wear $20 abercrombie crap.

                                  $150 leathers would have been a way better investment but thats no fun
