Ive found on this site that when your new its better to sit back and read sometimes. The thread about the bikes, I think you were pretty harshly jumped upon. But I also think Mel aimed the thread at more experienced opinions. Particularly those she rides with. So sometimes its better to sit back and read whats going on. There's nothing wrong with having an opinion but I reckon an opinion is also from
experience rather than what you've heard or read. Thats probably why they jumped down your throat. I, like you, like the 250 with a pipe and yep others disagree but I dont recall anyone getting aimed at me for recommeding a Yoshi
Ive copped heaps of crap on here too. Mostly in good humour

Mainly because Ive done some pretty stupid stuff to my bike trying to figure out stuff, learning my limits etc. However I reckon I know my bike pretty well by now, particularly after listening to those in the know

Still cop the abuse but at the same time get asked about how stuff works etc from first hand experience from others with 06-07 10's now
Much to learn you still have

I'll add my 2c....I had the pleasure of meeting Mark (Clay) on a ride last night and is a genuinly nice guy....Dosn't ride like a tosser and knows his limit's...I think a few ppl may be surprised when they actually get to meet the guy....Some of the comment's thrown around here have been a bit harsh IMO...

I've ridden with Mark a couple of times too. Genuine bloke who has lots to learn (and willingly acknowledges it) about bikes and seems keen to learn. Being young and inexperienced is still something that goes hand in hand and always will

frankly the story of the guy punting his H2 into a canal in the comments on that link is more entertaining than the rigged busa video that page is intended for.
