I can't say enough about these videos.... I've taken the state motorcycle course twice now (once when I was 15, and just a couple years ago.. Not 15). Always, I know it's an old thread and I didn't get the whole way through all the replies, but... This last time the instructors really hit...

I'm running into the same issue Chino. I'm weighing my options at the moment. Like you, i'm about 5'5". I've looked at other seats, but even with the seat off, the tubing is still too wide for my small frame for my feet to sit flat on the ground. What i'm thinking of doing is replacing the...

Hey, I'd be interested as well if the former poster doesn't take them.

The first time I ride an actual motorcycle (other than an 80cc dirt bike) my dad made me drive him home (he was drunk). I was zealous to have the chance to prove my ability but my dad didn't take great care of his bike (never inspected, never had maintenance). So we're crossing down a...
