well, everyone knows im new to riding.. well, i know its not the best idea, but after being under alot of stress.. the only thing i wanted to do is ride. ride my worries away.. so i was determined to go on one of our twisty roads up here between vandalia and tipp. first i rode up 40 cuz i was gonna stop and show my cuz the bike. with me being mad, i was already being ballsie..i decided to give it a go. i downed into 5, but didnt feel a diff. so i went down some more and went WOT. it was nice! i got up to 90. and yes, that sounds slow, but for someone who hasnt gone above 60, thats a big deal. well, after she wasnt there i rode up 40 to ross, then there it was.. i turned onto canal. i got on it a bit, but not too much cuz the corners ahead. i only saw the white line once, but i took everyones advice and looked where i wanted to go. i still did slow in the corners.. i got up to bout 50.. but again, for someone who was doin 30, its an improvement. my high's of yesterday was 13rpm and i think bout 90-95mph. the only thing is, when i hit 13rpm, i felt like i didnt feel a speed change.? im proud of myself and now im ready for sunday!! just wanted to say with everyone
