[QUOTE="PALMER84ONE, post: 180704, member: 6"] Lots and lots of good advice given, seems to not enjoy what he does not want to hear. I take it for what its worth, 16, young, knows it all (almost all) all ready. Bad habits from riders around you go along way. dropping that kind of $$ on your first bike from a clutch-less 70 is um..... dumb.....
