    M1 road test

    Take the course. Dirt riding is not like riding on the road I found this out in 1976 when I got my license the hard way. Also the instructors are fun and give you pointers on staying alive not just to pass the test.. . Sent from my LG-H812 using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    Selling powerful bikes to noobs...

    First, I would rather sell the guy the bike than a supercar, if he does something stupid ( I am not saying he will) on the bike, he will kill himself, if he does something stupid in a supercar, then he could potentially kill someone else. If he is asking a bunch of questions, that is a good...
