Dude, i'd love to. I started taking lessons here but its $30/hour and you need about 30 lessons and then also need to cough up about $200 to do an exam and you rarely pass it on the first go. So instead of blowing $1500+ for a license, I just took 8 lessons to get the basics down, and am gonna wait till I move to the US to get my permit and a nice bike. I definitely liked cruising around on a bike though. I've driven a 250cc honda something, and a 600cc yamaha something. You can check more out in the journal on my webpage, from a couple month back, including pics.

Bikes rule

actually yeah, i havent had the chance to do any crossing, altho one of the bikes i rode was a crossbike, and it was pretty rad. I was doing wheelies every time i pulled up, mainly because my clutch control was non existant at the time....

That's a sweet bike, cyber. I was thinking about getting a YZ400F. A little heavier, and they're 4-stroke, but a very nice bike for just about any occassion.

As it is, I currently leech off others' bikes, which includes my uncle's old Yamaha 600 "Great White", my dad's old Maico(sp) 250, and his current baby, the Honda CR-500. I've been offered a CR-250 of my own, but I really don't know if it would push me along at the rate I want, being that I'm a big ogre.

if you are looking into a bike, i would most deffintly suggest at least taking a look and a ride on a KTM. very very nice bikes, almost all of my friends have them, and i am going to be getting one soon.

I ride ATV's... I just didn't feel right on the bikes I rode.. they scared me! Was a suzuki 125 2 stroke. Way too fast for me (at the time)
