Must have been lightheaded from having just a salad for lunch!<br /><br />For a while Oregon played with a graduated license system. The dividing line was 500 cc. If you took that skills test on a bike under 500 cc you were restricted to that size range.<br /><br />I think it proved too much trouble and it went away years ago.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Danirondadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821323482397075170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-77804084507393848952011-09-23T10:33:38.841-07:002011-09-23T10:33:38.841-07:00Bryce,

But I've been riding 20+ years, including several liter+ BMWs. <br />What irresponsible shop / salesperson would sell one of those to a complete newbie?!?! Idiots all around. The rider doesn't realize he's outclassed, but the salesperson should have. (Or maybe the salesperson tried to redirect him, & the rider insisted?)Krysta in MKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101287869577972478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-35261443526745158082011-09-22T00:43:50.271-07:002011-09-22T00:43:50.271-07:00Dan,

I would love to own a BMR 1000rr, but they can not be ridden anywhere to there potential on the road.....unless you are prepared to take considerable risks.

Dear god, I've been riding for years and I don't know if I'd even ride one. I've built up a fair amount of self control, but a monster like that is just waiting to claw at you and tear the skin from your face. Wow. Wow. Wow. I cannot say that enough. I never thought I would see someone who actually owned one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424120592303852860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-87814204787269682662011-09-21T08:09:42.445-07:002011-09-21T08:09:42.445-07:00Irondad:

I like to think that we are all now more comfortable with our blogger friends and more willing to post photos of ourselves, where before we were pointing our cameras away, rather than, towards.<br /><br />Just when I was following your Subway lead with healthy sandwiches you have now switched to "salads" ? I presume you are carrying your new Nikon dSLR everywhere you go. I am also bringing my Canon dSLR with me too in search of better photos, and also shooting RAW more.<br /><br />all I can say is WOW, a Beemer S1000RR, I don't know if I could trust myself on one. Up here they were going to change the licensing procedures to limited HP for new riders on a graduated system so that a beginner/new rider could not purchase a bike with a higher weight/HP ratio.<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.com
