Exclamation NW burbs Chicago peeps, need help!

Alright ladies and gents, I need a huge favor. Something at work came up, and now I cant get downtown to use a 250cc bike to take my test this wednesday. I know one of you have a small bike, and am hoping you would be willing to let me ride it for my test in Schaumburg, anytime this week would be helpfull. Let me know ASAP. I am willing to pay 40 bucks for this, since that was the deal I had already made. Wednesday would be ideal seeing as they are open late. I would insure the bike if needed, and you could even ride with me up there, seeing as I do have a permit..... Let me know. Thanks guys. Anything smaller than my Dyna will do...

Do you ride? If not, then shut up. If you do, the test isn't designed for big bikes, and i don't have the time to take it a bunch of times either.

Due to the deletion of previous comments, this section should now read....

Why thank you numb nuts.

Hey! Pass that popcorn!




OK smartass. For the past 20 ******* years I have been on and around bikes. A whole 2 months eh?

Wheres the pic of your bike?

The test favors bikes that have a small wheelbase... And I am all for stacking the deck in my favor.

Too add a little knowledge to your feeble mind, the fact that I dont hold an M class, has nothing to do with how I ride. I know I CAN do it on my bike, with three tries, but I would rather go in there and knock it out, and be on my merry ******* way.

By the way, Way to go Champ for making yourself the ******* of the day. If only you'ed talk this big when we were face to face.

I agree about the test. I may be able to pass it on my R1 but I'm not sure I could make that 180degree turn since it does not turn that well. The 250cc dirtbike worked much better.

As for the topic at hand, I do not have a scooter or anything, I know of some places that rent them for the test, they bring them there and everything, but its like $100. Sorry.

Here is my bike, which is a 2007 but I have been riding and had my license for more than 5 years.

Wow, so first, Twizted buys an HD, and some idiot wrecks his thread ( https://ls1tech.com/forums/midwestern-members/937705-picking-up-new-toy-today.html ). Now, he tries to get some help from the board, and someone wrecks his thread again.

Hmmm..... Perhaps Hell'sChariot = nickate ?

Twizted, I think you're developing a fan club.

Wow man, RPM did you slap his Pee Pee, cause he went back and changed everything he said.

I think its pathatic when someone's gotta come off a be a dick, when most of you know, I am all about helping someone out when I can.

Either way, IF I had a stalker, I was hoping it was a she and she was at least cute... WTF!

Here is the latest scoop. A buddy at work offered up his wifes Suzuki 450, and I can take it this saturday down in Joliet free of charge. If that falls through there is always next wednesday. Whatever right? So I am stuck with short jaunts around the ole neighborhood, and harassing Boosty and his bro when I go by!!!!

I was really hoping on that pink Vespa though, damnit bird, I had my hopes up.....

Yeah I just figured, if one of yall had a bike, and some time you wouldnt mind helping an LS1 brother out, and getting an almost free tank of gas for the car too boot! Thanks though.

Yeah the state classes are pretty booked. I went through Ride Chicago, which is private and a little pricey, but I figured that I would more than make up for it in the insurance savings in the long run.

Since I already knew how to ride a bike, it was a little lame at first, but they really do teach you things that could possibly one day save your life if you have never ridden before, or have developed a few bad habits.

TC, I think it is a Honda bike dealer in Des Plaines that rents bikes for the tests, I talked to them about it before. Something to keep in mind...

I totally came in too late and missed the comments at the biginning before they got deleted. Damn, sounded like fun.

Anyway I don't think my XL would do you any good on the test. I took mine on a 250cc dirt bike, and that was just plain simple, in second gear.

BTW, the XL is for sale!!!!! Click the link in sig. Someone buy it come on!!!!

Just some BS... If you cant pass it on your bike, you shouldnt have your M class, blah blah blah.. ******* haters.

Some people just dont understand, and feel they gotta knock everyone else to make themselves feel more special.

Good luck with your sale man, see ya around soon!d

As for your XL, it would probably be easier than the Dyna... But with you selling it, I wouldnt ask you to borrow it out like that.
