First Bike Search-Alabama
One of my adult sons is into looking for a first bike. He lives in Birmingham,Al and works out of town frequently in Pensacola,Cartersville,Ga and other SE USA locations.I am steering him towards a Honda 125/175/250 to find out if he likes riding(he has been an onroad bicycle racer-knees are not up to that).I guess he is a chip off the old- thats OLD block, as he likes the airheads and I told him the R100R and R65 were candidates for easy riding too, as are some other Jap bikes. I am hoping he buys the Ducati Monza 250 on ebay so I can ride it! I do body work on the side and am a mechanic so he can buy a project ,but a rider is more logical as I live in KY, not AL.I offered him my Honda 75 CB 400f super sport but he is not getting in a hurry yet. Say, I just balanced the crabs and took a short sunday ride-it gives you a ride that my R1150R is missing-more of a sports car kinda thing.After riding the big BMW's for awhile, it is nice to get on a light bike that you can toss around, and my short legs are always near the ground too!Holler if you know of a bike around him-no crotch rockets or non 1st rider candidates need apply!
