OK straitwangin, we'll see you in the local emergency room if you keep that up! Dude - bikes are NOT cars. Cagers, especially speed-freak performance-seeking cagers, who buy a high performance bike as their first bike are sure to go down hard. Sure, there are exceptions, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Another thing, once you lay down that bike for the first time (and it WILL hapen, whether stopped or rolling, I gaurantee it), you are gonna cry all of the way home pissed that you just messed up your $5k+ bike, when if you would but a smaller used bike for your first ride, you wouldn't care.

Again, good luck bro.
