Hi everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself since I'm new around here.
I don't ride yet. Never have. But I've wanted to since I was a little kid. So this is the year I don't let go by. I'm going to take the MSF Basic Course in the spring, find a decent runner airhead, and get out there. I've read a lot and talked to some of my friends who ride. I'm planning on taking safety seriously: I have a helmet (SA2005), and leather jacket (no armor, but real protective leather).
I've been a BMW CCA member for about five years. I'm a decent wrench and I have lots of tools. I've been Autocrossing these last two years so I understand traction and handling.
I'll need some help finding a good bike. I'd like a R75 or R80 because I think they'll be easier to ride than the larger ones and simple to work on. I'd like to spend less than $2000 and I'm willing to work on it. Shopping around, it looks like I'll be lucky to find a solid but cosmetically rough airhead.
Any advice? Especially on getting started without much money?
