nope u need 2 plates in us but i refuse to ruin the look of the car with a stupid front plate
I realize this post was a while ago but I just wanted to correct you. It depends on what state you are in. Here in Michigan you only have 1 license plate on the back. You don't get one for the front.
https://www.cars.com/articles/2013/10/how-many-states-require-front-license-plates/

Knowing you posted this when you still lived in Illinois you should be happy to see that Florida doesn't require a front license plate either. :P

On topic though, I recently purchased a 2014 Kawasaki Ninja 300 as my first bike.





Aside from being a blast to ride, the thing is awesome on gas too, getting almost 70mpg. It will save me a lot of gas money going to school and work. The insurance is also surprisingly cheap, I'm only paying about $45/month, which is less than half of what I pay for my car.
I just wish I lived further south so I could ride it for a larger portion of the year. My car is a 2001 Ford Taurus if I never posted it before.

lolz. buying a gixxer as your first bike typically ends up with you on the pavement and a hole in your wallet for repairs and medical bills. :P
The 300 is a great bike to start on and resells for almost as much as you buy it for. In a year or 2 I'll sell it and get something bigger.

Boojaa! As I earlier posted I was bout to change car in the winter and also managed to find new one. Here's my 'new' baby! 2.0T Gasolin, manual and quattro! Interior is grey/black leather with multifunction steering wheel. Only thing I need is OEM navigation system to central console.

Just realized I never formally introduced mine. It's funny, at the beginning of this thread, I knew next to nothing about engine repairs or automotive work and here I am having a pretty decent tool collection for a DIY'er and I've been in just about every nook and cranny of my affectionately named 'Blue Bomb':

The most recent surgery I did on her:

I have more money into her than she's worth and she's not perfect but she's mine and 100% paid for. Never let me down, even when she's throwing a fit.

A quick list of the things I've done;
