SWing'R Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Anyone wanna ride around the West side of Hilliard/PlainCity area tonight for a little while with me??Gonna go hit some country backroads from say 6:30ish to 8ish??My bike is still in its break-in period so I gotta try and stay under 5800rpm's which translates to around 60mph so just a casual ride around.Manual says to avoid "extended" periods of operation above 5800rpms.I'll check back here in a bit and before I leave, I'll pm my cell number to anyone that wants to meet me somewhere in Hilliard.

SWing'R Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ok, next time I suggest a "country road ride" in the early evening in the Spring, someone stop me!!!! Holy cheeze and rice, the fricken bugs! I could barely see out of my shield by the time I got home, I am covered from head to toe in gnats, they were getting in my helmet thru the air vents and around my visor, nasty!Still a fun ride though!

SWing'R Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 But really dude youve been riding a couple years. i dont think the addition of a leer is gonna negate any of your skillZ.I don't need to be around hundreds of other bikers and stall the damn thing movin at slow speeds. Give me a couple more weeks of practice. I'm already getting much better after just one week. I have a problem stalling sometimes pulling away from a stop thinking I'm in first just to find out I was actually in second, it don't like that I think I have purged myself of the habit of grabbing the clutch thinking its the rear brake, I seem to be used to the foot brake already so thats good.
