your ideas intrigue me and i wish to subscribe to your newsletter. how may i join the "turbo hayabusa for noobs" club?

Well, it would help if you bought a turbo busa as your first bike or if you knew someone who bought a turbo busa as a first bike and they turned into a great rider as a result despite the fact that it is generally considered a really bad idea to buy a high performance motorcycle as your first ride.

Or you could just send me $20 and I'll let you join. :p

Is the written test just on the motorcycle booklet or motorcycle booklet + vehicle laws booklet (to get your temps)?

All bs aside I'm looking into the supermoto line. A DRZ 400 or WR250X.... can learn to run with the big boys on a smaller bike. And as you get better you could beat them on some roads:)

Then when you get really good you'll realize that the street isn't the place to beat anyone.
