Bike Curious

Post by Teabag »

A friend wanted me to try his bike this afternoon, Honda NC750X, and I said No thanks, this is just not for me. I have seen a couple of kiteboarders that ride bikes (Pat/Colin/Etc...) and was wondering how is it for carrying kiteboarding gear?

How long were you in the bike curious phase before going for it? Was it from highschool? College? How many did you tried before? Was it scary at first? Why not staying with the god old SUV or 4X4?

Which one of these would you recommend?
