Likwid Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm up around Macedonia/Twinsburg/Hudson/Northfield Center.... I live right at the intersection of all 4 essentially.Thanks for the warm welcomes! My neighbor and his wife have 2 sport bikes, a JXR and something else (sorry, more into cruisers but still a newb). I'm still getting the hang for the basics, couldn't resist the urge to take her out before the class (who could resist that), was a really short trip to the Target in Macedonia but on the way back I laid it down trying to make a left turn.... let myself get rushed and reacted poorly. I've always learned well from my mistakes but I need to slow my mind down and just relax.Anyway, long reply, but looking forward to getting comfortable, I hope some of you sport bike guys won't mind riding with a newb on a cruiser!

chevysoldier Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 ...but on the way back I laid it down trying to make a left turn.... let myself get rushed and reacted poorly. !Sorry to hear you laid it down already. Take it to an area with no traffic and start slow. Practice make perfect. I have only been riding for a few months myself but have taken everything slow and have yet to lay it down. Of course I let a friend ride it and he ran it into a wall. LOL Did some serious damage. Now I am really starting to get a feel for what the bike can do. Anyways, go slow and have fun. And always wear your gear.Rubber side down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
