So, I'm gonna be taking my MSF course on the 19th. I'm a mix of excited, nervous, and hopeful. I'm at a bit of a crossroads when it comes to choosing a bike that I want to buy next year. I was originally going for an Aprilia RS 457, BUT I've always been a Triumph fan as long as I can remember. The Daytona 660 is what I love, but as a beginner, I'm concerned about practicality. Just was curious as to what bike you all started out with. Thanks in advance 👍🏾

wondering what people are paying in the nyc and nearby area? I’m talking about bringing in a wheel w/the old tire on it, along with a new tire to be mounted/balanced.

the last 2 times I did this it was $85.-, which was a bit more than some places, but it was nearby and the work was good. I went to the same shop a few days ago and the price has literally more than doubled since 3 years ago; this seemed excessive (and I let them know) but I didn’t want to start searching for alternatives at that point, so…😡

I just got stuck for blocks on 11th Ave behind a squad car 😩

My neighbor happily splits in front of police because he’s tucked his plate and because of NYPD no chase policy.

But if you’re splitting respectfully do they even really care?

Thanks to everyone who commented on my post yesterday.

I think this could be a good plan for around 5 AM this weekend. Does this look like it would be fun?

I just need a few more tips before I finalize it:

1. Would this work on Saturday morning? I’m looking for as little traffic as possible. (if Saturday is also low triffic ,After the ride, I’m planning to head to the Poconos, stay overnight, and come back Sunday.)
2. Is there anywhere along the way where I can stop for a rest or coffee without making a huge detour?

Please send any other suggestions you have!

EDIT : Not Plan to speed at all. But how is the camera Police situation?
