I left my bikes at home and it was one of the biggest mistakes I made my first year because my college has literally no parking except for motorcycle parking.
I actually started on a motorcycle. I had a bike nearly two years before I got a car. It was a 2001 XT225, and I rode it year round. No better way to let people know you're a badass than showing up on a motorcycle with 4" of snow on the ground. Went from that to a 1984 Sabre V65, that I'm taking to college. I have a car, but I hardly ever drive it, it seems like. Last year (Gap year) I was taking it any time the roads were clear, as cold as 8F. I solved the rain issue by carrying extra socks, and just dealing with it. I have the S7, which is waterproof. Wear Timberland boots on the daily, so it isn't an inconvenience to find good riding shoes. Biggest con for me is my white ass legs, because I never get to wear shorts.
I rode Harley to school and highschool. It was fun.
I rode royal enfield
i need to get back into vlogging love the video quality you got going on.
At my college its 100% free to park, and you can park In striped areas as long as it doesnt create a hazard, and you can park multiple bikes in 1 spot.
sounds like mine
if you live in a big city, having a motorcycle would be advantageous. big, busy, sprawling cities would be great for small displacement street or enduro bikes tuned for street, as lane filtering(if legal) seriously cuts down on commuting time, and the majority of lower displacement bikes under 300cc can regularly get 70mpg or higher, while having enough power to get on the highway and go long distances if you have to.
right. i think a dual sport, like the honda crf50l, would be best for someone in high school or college though. you have more space on the back, so you would have more space for your school items, plus there's the added benefit of dual sports being generally more durable and reliable than sport bikes because of the tougher plastics. you can drop it or low side it and it'll most of the time have barely a scratch.
Liked the video, Motonoob. I'm considering getting a bike for my last year of college in a few months. Any suggestions when it comes to Insurance? I'm looking at larger starter bikes like the ninja 650 etc because of the distance I travel to class & other factors. Also, do you work while in school??
+MotoNooB No problemo man. How good is your 500 on gas? Also, I don't know about you, but I Make median wage. Are you paying your bike off and stuff? That's one thing I'm not so sure about doing.
6 years… I will go to college next year (hopefully) so idc about the reasons I shouldn’t have , I just wanna have motorcycle as soon as possible for me
As far as #3 that really depends on the size of the bike. Some of the hogs as I call them barely get over 30 mpg , lots of cars these days get over 30 mpg. That is one reason I wand a midsize bike 500-700 cc, so that I can still benefit from the mileage.
Is a pad lock chain not much help on a bike ?? Anybody ?
I’m in the uk and going to uni next year and living In uni accommodation, I’ve literally just gotten a bike and I’m about to book to get my CBT but my uni doesn’t do student parking at ALL. None on the campus and none at the accommodation so idk what to do 😕😕 I want to take it with me because mental health wise being far away from home and having to spend £25 every time I want to go home would not be good, hopefully if I explain that they’ll let me park it 😔
What about the weather cuz I also live in the uk but the weather is making me second guess.
This was very helpful
ughhh my school doesn't have motorcycle parking AT ALL, I think I'd just pay like a car and park at a car spot...
I can park anywhere I want in my college as long as I'm not blocking any entrances or footpaths.
Got all kinds of hodgetwins action going on the intro
lol
I'm going to college. and I have a car and motorcycle so :)
same
***** how would it be possible for one person to ride both to school?
momomum motorcycle trailer :
So give me one
I'm 19 and live in Cali. And insurance companies hate me so much. They wanna charge me like 1,200 a year for a Honda grom. How expensive is your insurance?
Rafael wtf why?
Damn I'm getting charged about the same for my CBR 1000RR and I'm also 19
I've been watching videos and most say to start on a 250 and im a sophomore in highschool. i want to get one by the middle of my jr year
+MotoNooB Okay then. I live in california, how long do you think it would take to get my permit and everything?
+MotoNooB Yeah I'm 16 turning 17 in October. So I'll sign up and I'm For sure taking the msf course. Any tips on learning to ride?
+MotoNooB alright forsure
My vote in terms of deciding on a 250 vs a mid sized bike is mostly based on whether you live in a big urban city or a more rural environment. I started riding in a DENSELY populated downtown area (downtown in the city of Toronto), and so a 250 made A LOT of sense. In my opinion, dense traffic is a lot less forgiving of mistakes and there's no point of a bigger bike as you can't get up past 10 miles an hour. But otherwise a 500 is definitely an awesome way to start too. The 250 is a real bike, you'll easily be able to keep up with any traffic you need to (mine takes me easily up to 105 mph), and there are ways to cure boredom (I did track stuff after my first year riding), but yes I did also upgrade my bike the moment I moved out of the city, so I think that's my biggest determining factor is type of city you live in
charles sampson I know you commented this 2 years ago but how did it turn out? I'm a sophomore too and I want to get into riding
Hey friend I just hit about me going back to school college 🤗 the cool thing about me going back here in new York I could ride my scooter because I live on beach and I could ride far as my school are😃 I would have to get good lock for my bike 🙄 when I am in class the college I attended gave me a job i been going for seven years 😂 after I was done I got a job but my illness cost me not finished, but still have my job to a long story short, I keep my bike in my apartment 🤗 now that got better taken my to school is great for me I just wanted to share that with you thank you for sharing 😃😎
Hi, I’m going to FSU in the Fall and I want to get a motorcycle. I would only use it to get to class quicker and the occasional trip to the store. I’ve ridden mopeds, small motorcycles, and dirt bikes before so I have some experience. My Dad is willing to get me a small 250 cc motorcycle, but my family is concerned for my safety. Do you have any helpful tips to help me convince them to support my decision in getting one?
did you get one?
I rode Supra X 125 to school and all my friend always look at me because never saw that bike cuz that bike from southeast asia.
Does stuff usually get stolen in the day when classes are going on ?
Disc alarms, locks, covers, and if thats not enough then you might live in Detroit.
GPS tracker would be a good option
Freshman year and missing my TLR200. I'm looking to get a new Honda though, just need money...but college
Haha, i'm already doing that lol. I can't wait till this summer so I can work and ride.
Pigeonman koleg 😂
If i live out of state us it a bad idea?
Con 3 not for me I live in houston
Assasins Creed Unity Just seeing this comment now. The irony here is wonderful. On a serious note though, are you okay?
Took me a minute... It's not quite ideal riding weather now.
MotoXBee Haha well stay safe, man
Owning & driving any car is one of the most STUPIDEST things you can do! For one, cars needs a lot of fuel to operate plus it needs a big parking space and it’s not cheap by any means. Two, cars get stuck in gridlocked traffic when you’re already dead late going to places from work meeting or going to the airport for a flight. Unless you love picking up friends and take them somewhere!? Then by all means…get a car. Cars are money pits and lose their value even brand new the minute you drove it off the lot…..
ASU theft is bad!
Take the warning sticker off your tank please...
mehhh
Who r u kidding if u have a motorcycle u will haul ass quite often
That's absolutely true. Let's not kid ourselves.
