Thread: Callin all the squids (crotch rocket) folks

    Are there any motor cycle training places around SoCal that youd all suggest? Gonna be getting a bike in the next month or two for commuting (either an R1, RC51, or GSX-R1000). I've ridden alot before in my short life (dirt bikes and cruisers) but I wanna take a class of some sort to learn to use a bike to its fullest potential, expecially crotch rockets. I could just get one and go from there... but I'd rather know how to use the bike to all it ability to avoid a crash if something unexpected where to happen. So who'd ya all suggest?
    Thanks everyone!

    You might check with Honda Riders School in Colton, or look for the Motorcycle Safety Foundation in your area.

    It is going to be my first bike... but I have ridden before on the big bikes. I also weigh in at about 270 dressed with a back pack... so I'm not light by any means.

    From my experience with those bikes you mentioned, the RC-51 will KILL you butt for commuting!! The Yami and Zuk have much better seats on them!

    Santiago Canyon College has a motorcycle safety course on Saturdays that you can take. They provide the bike and the helmet. You can ride the canyon right by Cooks Corner to get there from where you are at. Take the course and your insurance company will usually give you a 10% discount.

    well... like a 10 mile commute :devil:
    But the jeep gets 10 miles to the gallon so that'd be over 20 gallons a week cruisin around on that bitch
