yeah, its all good... i have a healthy respect for it. i was a little scared on my test drive cuz it was the first time id ever ridden a bike on a street 
h: maxed out at 25 mph :hsugh: my only other experience riding was on my father in laws honda 250cc rebel around his (big) back yard...
my dad took it on a rip and said it was all good, he got it up to about 60 and said it was just as smooth there as a slow speeds...
it will be a good learning bike for me, to at least see if im into motorcycling or if its just a lust ive had for like 5 years...

Parking lot....h:
I had dirt bikes growing up.When I was 18 I had a ninja, but gave it up. I always thought to myself, before getting on the bike, I respect this and my life. Then Id get about 2 minutes into the ride and turn into someone else. I was not one for F'in wheelies going 80 or any of that BS, but I sure as hell hauled way too much ass and did things like passing truckers on exit ramps.
Ill stick to being a nutjob in a car. I admire people with the restraint to ride a bike with a laid back style. I think you have a nice starter bike.

im hoping my respect/fear doesnt go away with time but i would like to get to a point where i can drive faster that 25 mph :chuckles: when i was testing it out i was shit scared about not being about to see all around me like i do in the car, im sure that will take some getting used to. also knowing if anything happens, it wont be pretty...
wishing for a bike was way different than having one.... and its only been 24 hours... strange...
