So I looked for about a few weeks and finally found one that was what I wanted. I got a white 2014 Kawasaki ninja 300 with abs and 3k miles on the clock.  Ya it’s not blisteringly fast and I haven’t ridden it yet just got the permit today and bought all my gear a couple days ago. But I figured why not? If I for whatever reason don’t like riding one of the reasons I bought a ninja is they sell quick and I only paid 3k for it in cash. Figured it would be a good starter bike too as well. How many of you guys ride? Was it before or after you went mgtow? To be honest I never really thought about getting one until I went mgtow myself, could it be the feeling of freedom a motorcycle provides?

You owe it to yourself to take that out on a long stretch of road, check the road for hidden cops, then find a good time when there is little traffic and open that puppy all the way out.  If only once, just to have your brain go “holy f~~~”.

Pretend you are invisible….always.

Best advice I ever got, saved my ass a few times.

Pretend you are invisible….always.

I was given this same advice many years ago, it has saved/protected me many times…

Ditto.  Always ride defensively.  I just assume cars are going to turn in font of me, merge into me, etc. and drive accordingly.  When in traffic, pick a car to shadow and stay close.  No one will see you but they will see the car and won’t run into it.

Better yet, search for open roads and open times, then cruise without worry.  I live off the Blue Ridge Parkway and during the week its deserted.  No stoplights, no traffic, awesome road, and beautiful scenery.  It is worth it to go to the effort.  Transcendental really.

I’ve Ridden dirt bikes a few times before so decided while I was looking for a fun car to drive, why not try out a bike?

I seriously recommend taking a basic street motorcycle class even if you didn’t have to take one to get your motorcycle permit. They cover a lot of stuff that’s much better to learn in a classroom and practice session than learning the hard way out in traffic. Usually you’ll get an insurance discount as well, so they pretty much pay for themselves.

Was it before or after you went mgtow?

Probably before, but only because I’ve been riding since before I even knew why girls had different bathrooms. And even I benefited from taking classes.

Also install a single seat. There are no free rides.

I was going to say that.

Also there are two kinds of riders: Those who have laid their bike down and those who will. Accept the fact that inevitably it will happen to you so dress accordingly. At the start of every day understand that you will inevitably lay your bike down, and ride to make sure it’s not today.

hmm, I don’t know much, but I found this an interesting read about laying down.

Upright, a motorcycle rests on tires. On its side, a motorcycle rests on plastic, metal, or a bit of both. The simple truth is that the traction your motorcycle’s plastic and metal bits offer you is far, far inferior to the traction that your tires offer you. A motorcycle that you keep upright has the best chance of coming to a safe stop in the shortest distance because the tires give you the control to do so.

Rather than laying your bike down, rely on your braking techniques and your swerving techniques.
