Motorcycles and the Cool People Who Ride Them

looks like it hasn't been laid down

They probably hid it.

One time my dad bought an automatic motorcycle, but he was missing an arm.

that is likely a 400cc that will definitely struggle to get you and a passenger up to highway speeds.  I guess Honda did make a 750 cc auto that you could look for but honestly just learn to operate a clutch. 

I assume you have at least tried to drive a standard in a car but know that almost all motorcycle clutches are easier and almost infinitely more durable than a what is in most cars.

That is 100% true.

more of a general lol at the emasculation

yep its 400cc and this would be more around town, to/from work. gooches does that MSF course still waive the need for all of the written and other crap you have to do through the state?
I looked and it says state licensing test waiver(s) - None

If you are considering buying a motorcycle and don't have any experience riding them you should consider taking a class. After the class, you don't have to take the motorcycle license test, you just take the paper from the class to the Driver's License office and they give you (for a fee) a license with 'M' class on it.

For you KC folk, I took this class at JCCC back in 2011 and it was excellent. Friday night and all day Saturday and they provide bikes and gear if you don't own it. Instructor was top-notch and knew his stuff!

What's the cost on the classes?

[star seed 7]

The link says $240

[yoga-like_abana]

man.. I better be a biker4lyfe. Who's ready to start that biker/scooter gang up?

[Skipper44]

I did the msf course thru KCKCC in the 90s.  At that time, it was held in the old driver's ed room at Turner HS and we rode all over KCK (very fun, lots of cool old backroads). 

I imagine this is the same thing and you can't beat learning to ride on someone else's bike for $225.  https://kansascity.augusoft.net/index.cfm?method=ClassInfo.ClassInformation&int_class_id=14346&int_category_id=3&int_sub_category_id=135&int_catalog_id=0

my neighbor has two "hogs" Harley Davidson's for you non bikers.. I'm wondering how much crap he's gonna give me rolling up on it. He goes to some of those bike nights at Mcgraws, would love to roll up and give him one of those low biker waves

[pissclams]

  wheelies w/o a clutch, gonna be tough.  same with burnouts.  might be time to reconsider.

[Skipper44]

He already said he isn't giving rides to hot babes so I am not sure what the plan is here

[mocat]

Why did the entire bike need to be rebuilt with only 7k miles?

Anybody that thinks less of non Harleys is a giant dork and/or loser.

The one in Wichita that I posted at the beginning of this thread does, but you should check with any other class you plan to take.

I found this abandoned bike on a super steep ridge.  I have no idea how it could even have gotten there except by helicopter or someone maybe carrying it piece by piece and putting it together.  Pretty cray cray.

[yoga-like_abana]

probably because its an automatic and they didn't have to worry about some damn clutch getting in there way

Did you knock it over?
