First Post, Mother F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What would make for some great articles? Anyone remember that website "Interactive Motorcyclist (www.activebike.com)" ?
They had tons of great articles, anecdotes, and stories that have shaped my philosophy of riding. They're gone now, but I think the CD can be had for $15.
First and foremost, express the importance of PROPER training.
Secondly, come up with a list of gear.... gear that fits different price brackets. For example, you could say "For $500, you can get this, this, and that. For $1,000 you can get this, that, and her".
Third, Although it is controversial, make sure it is known that many experienced riders advocate starting on small-horsepower biles. I really haven't met any legitimate rider who regrets starting on a small bike; and more often then not those who start on small bikes or on dirt bikes have a much faster learning curve to good riding than those who don't.
Fourth, let it be known that it's vital that new riders pick their riding mates carefully. New riders mixed in with dangerous crowds may not last long.
Fifth, further promote continual rider training, and track time.
And since I'm experiencing a brain fart:
"It's not the bike that will let you go fast, it's the skills of the rider".
and
"It's a lot more fun to go fast on a slow bike than to go slow on a fast bike"
and
"MO needs some hot nudie chicks to pose for an MO calendar (that features and SV650 on the cover)"
I LOVE M.O.
