Driving at night

[Ric]

Good choice ric. That 128 is pretty fast and the 2.8 motor is very good.

I have always wanted to ride motorcycles, but insurance are outrageous and they are dangerous (you have to really watch out).

It's a 3.0 Inline 6

I find that's not true here in the US. I got 5 bikes and find insurance is a lot less then a car. Yes you have to think when you ride on the roads and I hear the dangerous word all the time but just don't see it any more dangerous then driving a car. Yes you do see a lot of motorcycle accidents but read between the lines, speed, crazy style riding, drugs and alcohol. You are on two wheel so you have to use your head. You ever been on a expressway and see a motorcycle going twice the speed limit going in and out of traffic, now what dose that tell you. dangerous. If you want to ride a bike take a safety course first, Once you start riding it get in your blood and you will love it. go for it :thumbsup:

I think the thing that amazes me is there's no way around the High beam thing, it's kinda a catch 22. Driving at night is something I did for years and you need high beams especially on the back roads and such. I mean with all the technology today you would think they could come up with a solution. They make cars that can park themselves without driver asst, you think they could do something about lights.

Yea, by dangerous I talk about the bad drivers. You have to be alert when on a motorcycle. Yea, I've seen a few bikes on the highway do wheelies. I've also seen Ghost Rider's insane videos of doind a wheeli a 300 km/h, running away from police, etc.

Insuranc for bikes is about 2K-5K/year if I am correct. For a car it is about 500$-700$/year. Less then that when you are older.

What a different in the two country's. I have two off road bikes, two on road scooters, one full size Harley Davidson on road motorcycle all with license plates and proper insurance. The insurance is just a little over 100 dollars. Something just doesn't sound right here. Have you shopped around for motorcycle insurance or are you trying to insure one of the high speed Japanese bikes that go 200 MPH. Just get a sensible road bike and there are insurance company that specialize in motorcycles and it might surprise you what it cost. Never tried it and don't plan on it but I don't think my bike would have any problem to go over 100 MPH.

I've got to a point in my life where engines size and Turbos don't mean that much anymore, the speed and power thing doesn't matter to me. Gosh I think I'm turning into one of those guys I swore I'd never be, it's getting scary :laughing:

Insurance are cheap for older people. Men in ther 20's get hit hard if they have a sporty car or motorcycle. I havn't shopped around much. I just hear about it. My friend that had on 08 Ranger who was about 23 years old was paying 1200$/year in insurance. That is for a pickup truck. If I had a luxury vehicule that is rather new (Merc, Audi, BMW, etc.), I would be paying a good 1500$-2000$.

That is sad! It's time for a good ol' Caddy. Even them Caddys are fast now

For men in their 20's and the kids fresh out of school it's almost impossible without parents helping to get affordable insurance especially on a sporty car or motorcycle say nothing about getting insurance on one of those crotch rockets. Most parents end up with their kids on there policy's.

I'm not a Cadillac fan, I haven't got that old yet :laughing: in fact I'm not a fan of any car made here in the USA at this time.

Yes buy your teenager a crotch rockets and after he gets killed on it cry how dangerous motorcycles are or buy them a nice 250CC bike so they can learn how to ride the right way. I also did away with my American made car and went Japanese, now that I have had it a few years I miss my Chevrolets and when I do buy my next car it will be American. The biggest complaint I would have with a BMW is if it ever needed repairs, BIG MONEY.

It may cost you if you keep it long enough to go out Of Warranty but with the 4 year service program it's highly unlikely that will happen because I don't keep cars that long.
