Calinazaret Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hey hasuna! Welcome from Santa Cruz! I'm from California too. I lived in Aptos for a while and had many friends at UCSC. I'm in the cbus area as well so let me know if you ever want to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 and +1 for the MSF basic riders course and the advanced course. Will teach you the fundamentals and some good low speed maneuvers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoop Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi hasuna! Welcome to the area. Very Nice Bike! Good idea to get the gear and great move to do the MSF! I wouldn't have suggested the R6 for a first bike - it's great that you have some experience. But please be careful of the R6's quirks. As you've probably experienced, the engine is very peaky, meaning pretty weak down low then gets 100+ HP crazy when the revs get into the sweet spot, But that means you're going pretty fast when you get to the fun part of the power curve, so PLEASE be careful! Especially after you start to feel confident enough to want to see what she will do. I hope you'll join us for the epicOhio ride on 9/27 (check the rides & events forum).

claine650 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Welcome. Good tip for new rider on new (used) bike, go through the bike with a fine tooth comb. I see you noticed shitty brake response, good start. Have to be able to depend on your machine and that means it depends on you to keep it that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
