I have been wanting to go on motorcycle rides forever now, My dad does and some of my friends do. Already signed up for weekend classes that will count as my license. Ive been on the prowl for a new bike, most of my friends have sports bikes like the cbr600rr and suzuki GSX, ive been looking more at the Harley Iron 883 and forty-eight. Anyone else ride here in socal? what is a good learner bike but wont be super weak after 6 months to a year. What places to you guys ride to? I don't have the need for speed to much in me nowadays so super fast isn't a necessity.
