Who uses motorbikes as a daily transportation?

any tips? Im thinking about getting one.

Depends where you live

I use to but I live in Connecticut so I had to have a car in the winter and rain. Its not very reliable, they are uncomfortable on long trips and there are always retards on the road who dont see you or just dont look. They are very fun though in the summer.

Wear a helmet. Don't fall off.

buy a full face helmet if you value your chin

buy a leather jacket to stay warm and fashionable, always have something to stay warm cuz u can catch a cold in a matter of minutes in the open air

dont brake or gas on sand or ice

if you get in an accident your arm with the watch on it is likely to break so dont wear a watch

ask about breaking in your bike to the dealer. Something about a certain speed for the first 500 miles or so

Equipment
Training
Luck

You need a healthy high dosage mix of all three of these (and some common sense) to make it work.

And for god's sake DO NOT SKIMP ON GETTING YOUR LICENSE! 2/3 of all motor cycle accidents happen to people who don't have one. Still even with all that going for you your chances of not getting hit in this day and age aren't that good. We have a saying at our shop, "There are two kinds of riders in the world. Those who have been in accidents and those who are going to be be in accidents" Sorry but dems the brakes. Gotta pay the cost to be the boss.
