I would love to learn to ride and keep it to the track, but I don't know if I can afford that with a new BRZ on the way.

Not gonna lie, some of these idiot drivers shouldnt be anywhere near a car, it is scary out there. When i drive my car a normal van doesnt seem like much, but on a bike they look like giant missiles!!!
But not everyone drives like a dumbass. We just gotta be alert at 200%. Invest in quality gear and practice. I'm looking to get some knee protection and better gloves and possibly some shoes/boots.
Riding motorcycles isn't for everyone. I'm not calling you a weenie or anything like that.
Its better to ride when you feel ready to and be at a relaxed state of mind rather than being scared and nervous, that already spells an accident waiting to happen.
I wanted to share this pretty funny video
