Hello everyone, just bought my first bike, an Italika FT 150 2008. Not much, but for $500 and a first bike I figured why the hell not. Haven't ridden a bike in over 15 years and when I last did it was a 250cc off road bike. Today I was riding this sin helmet on the streets of Mexicali(I was trying to find a tienda deportiva to buy one). It was a really liberating feeling though, everything is much "closer" and a lot different feeling on a bike.
Enough about the touchy feely stuff about my first real ride. I'm gonna browse the forum, read some FAQ's and search for stuff I have questions about(there are a couple of performance things on my bike I need to look up to see if its working as intended or screwy). And yes, I did read the New Members Read This First post. Everyone have a good weekend and stay safe.

Yea, I know its a KW site mostly but doing google searches for different things about bikes/engines etc you guys came up a lot or in cross links from other sites. While I can't ask any parts/model specific questions I figure combustion engines are similar in some aspects and I can possibly get pointed in the right direction. Another thing is all of the discussions of the Italika are in spanish. While I can read them, its hard to follow technical instructions. Even with my girlfriend translating.
