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.

Hmm, this is making me reconsider. I don't want to ride with a pack. I am my own pack

Well you don't have to if you don't want to.

I would get one of these, but probably not regular bike. I think this would be much safer and would probably keep other motorcyclists from wanting to pack up, which would also be ideal. I would essentially want ppl to think I was inferior to them so they wouldn't be those lame ppl who want to stop and talk to you about your bike, wouldn't want to constantly waive at me, etc.

Is going on the highway super scary? I want to ride to work when it's nice out but I'm not sure I'd trust all those people in their bigfoot punched WackyCat08mobiles

I like to wear a helmet on the highway because I don't like all that wind in my face. The closest I've come to wrecks with cars were on city streets, not the highway.

The ppl who ride on the backs of a motorcycle driver are the weirdest. There's no rough ridin' way i'm trusting anyone, on a death trap, without myself controlling it.

If you are riding on the back of the driver, that is pretty dangerous.

I'm getting a 49cc Honda Ruckus this summer from my in-laws. I ride it all the time when we visit them. If you guys ever want to group ride I'm down... as long as we stay on city streets where the posted speed limit is 35 mph or below.
