I leave a fair amount of space between me and the other car. I let the clutch out slow to inch forward if/when I need to. I usually am to one side of the lane (whichever is easier or safer to "eject" to). I always watch the rearview and tap my brakes when someone is coming up behind me when I am stopped. Sounds like you handled it well. Just keep riding, watching others and always leave an exit.
I got a pair of touring type leather boots I'll sell ya. I think they are 11. Text me and I'll send ya a pic. I'm thinking $30 they are over the ankle and leather.
Im going to try to ride as much as I can to work this year. I dont like the freeway commute at the at the times I go but not doubling my commute time for nothing.
Hoblick hooked me up . Installed my chain/sprocket kit, mounted some fresh rubber, and changed my brake fluid. He did a hell of a job and answered all of my dumb questions. Great guy, great service and he will get all my future business.
Your going to make a hell of a weatherman. So at what looks to be 50-55 degrees saturday and maybe rain is my one piece going to be warm enough or should I bring thermals for underneath? It's only 20 minute sessions so shouldn't get too cold right?
Your north Cincy so just head east to SE Ohio and ride around at your own pace. Ride as many twisty roads as you can. As you feel more comfortable youll pick up speed and lean more. Ride with someone who is better have them lead but nothing fast and stay pace with them and youll see the person in front of you taking the turn at a speed and then you will see its safe. Ride when minimal traffic is on the road at first. I still ride when traffic is light as much as possible.
