What a great call to action

The home page of Motorcycle Getaways.

Maybe some day.

I was going to get my learner's permit for my R (big bike licence) sometime in the last 2 days. I've held my restricted 250cc licence for a year, so i can officially test for my R now. And be that much closer to a VFR, which i've decided, academically, is the best candidate for my next bike.

But you know what? I'm not ready for a big bike. Having only been on a 250cc for 3 months, i've got a long way to go with regard to bike handling and road negotiation (in other words, everything) before being worthy of one. When i get my R, i want to be in a position to bring a big bike home pretty damn quick - not another 9 month lag i had before getting my current little beast, in which almost everything i'd been taught had disappeared.

Every motorcyclist i know has told me that once you sit on a big bike, going home on a a 250 is difficult. And i don't doubt for a moment that they're right.
