College Student moving to boise

R6Boise · 12-01-2009, 03:08 PM

I will be moving to boise to attend boise state in january
and i was wondering if there is any college students on this board or how many riders are in that general area.

e11charlie · 12-01-2009, 03:14 PM

There is only a couple in the valley. Not a whole lot here in fact none of us have bikes we just like to hang out and talk about them and make revving sounds.

<-----This guy.

It's awesome having a bike. Permits are $47 and you get to park right next to the buildings and never have to go searching for somewhere to park.

If only people would stop buying permits for their gay ass scooters.

LazyJ · 12-01-2009, 04:08 PM

plenty o riders here

If I had a scooter I would ride it into the classroom, to keep with the point of saving money.

how many months out of the year do you ride your bike in boise

Matt · 12-01-2009, 04:51 PM

man, college student here also

I ride during the winter occasionally as long as there is not snow on the ground... Obviously the main seasons are spring and summer.

R6Boise · 12-01-2009, 05:03 PM

i was just wondering if i should bring my bike with me when i start spring semester

I would, the parking at Boise Junior College really sucks, but that's just me. Parking my long ass truck isn't fun, but parking in front of each building is great and doesn't require a reserved parking permit. If you have night classes its not as bad - just be careful of all the dumb ass drivers down there if you ride on campus.

R6Boise · 12-01-2009, 05:12 PM

now i just need to get one of my friends with a truck to help me get my bike down there

Mikey · 12-01-2009, 05:14 PM

Where are you coming from?? Also that is a sexy ass R6. Love the white and black!!

R6Boise · 12-01-2009, 05:22 PM

Im currently in Rigby Idaho. There is already a little snow here and by January the only way to get my bike to boise is in the back of a truck

BLIZANTHIMUM · 12-01-2009, 05:23 PM

most of us ride every month of the year

R6Boise · 12-01-2009, 05:23 PM

oh and thanks on the bike compliment

Exitwounds · 12-01-2009, 05:35 PM

I rode yesterday. Its not bad if you dress for the cold. You have to be REALLY careful this time of year. Even if there isn't sand down, the Magnesium Chloride they put down as ice melt is slick as shit. Watch for dark, oil looking lines that come in a group of 6 or 8, that's the deicer.

Bring the bike, you're good to ride around mid March if you're not one for cold weather. The cold air just ups the power of the bike, its only the snow/ice/sand/etc you have to worry about. As long as you're not racing through corners, you shouldn't have any traction problems.

BRING A CASE OF 44 NORTH PLEASE.

R6Boise · 12-01-2009, 05:46 PM

Sounds good. haha and i will work on the case of 44 north

IDAHOBALLER · 12-01-2009, 06:55 PM

I am a BSU student and I ride all year long too.

Mikey · 12-01-2009, 07:02 PM

I'm not a college student but I do have some good news.

I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance.

And I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

R6Boise · 12-01-2009, 08:41 PM

i wouldn't suppose you know which classes i should take. Kinda selecting my classes right now

What's your major? You have to narrow that down a bit man, lol.

R6Boise · 12-01-2009, 09:35 PM

my major is going to be criminal justice. But im just looking at my generals right now

Exitwounds · 12-01-2009, 11:16 PM

Math 108, Psychology 101, English 101, Political Science 101.

There's a start for you.

To the tune of like 1/3-1/2 the price. I have thought about it, I may still finish a few things up there.

Pimpit · 12-02-2009, 12:41 AM

I'm switching to CWI and its always riding season when its not snowing if you bundle up

R6Boise · 12-02-2009, 08:46 AM

Only the smart ones

It use to be everyone had a R6, now its a gixxer. Hopefully with Ben Spies all the squids will jump back to the R6/R1 again.

In reality they are all good bikes though, except for the kawis, especially the 636s that are located in SE Boise, and if they are yellow they are even slower.

R6Boise · 12-02-2009, 01:19 PM

I personally think the 07 R6 is the best looking bike but thats just me

Until you lay it down and the tank acts as a slider and catches on fire. The best looking bike is the new white Aprillia RSV4

You SON OF A BITCH oh wait i dont have a 636.

Exitwounds · 12-02-2009, 04:26 PM

There's a pretty solid mix of all the manufacturers tbh. I wouldn't say there are any more of one brand than another among us, which is a little unusual.
