      Thats impressive actually. I am a week into riding, and still find 50mph terrifying. Not to mention I shouldn’t be exceeding 45mph anyway to stay within breakin rpm restrictions.
      Also stalled it several times my first two days riding it, would not be safe in traffic, and I’m just starting to feel confident finding the shifter lever for shifts, not use to foot position yet, boots kept getting stuck on the pegs

      Just after a week after my last post, 50 feels comfortable now. Accidentally went on the highway once, it feels fine, except still getting used to the wind, it tries to turn my head whenever I’m trying to check the blindspot

    to any first time riders
    having someone follow you or guide you home is chill
    do not follow closely if you live anywhere with wildlife
    dead animals, debree, when you follow close you will not have as much time to react to these things.
    i was riding home from work and a coworker was infront of me, i had a near miss on a dead deer! confident in myself, everything was okay. but respect your skill level and give yourself the must needed cushion of error. as your skill level increases, so will your hand eye, brain reaction speeds. stay safe and ride like a bitch on your first bike home.

    I bought my first bike last month and since it had been sitting for a while, I went and picked it up with my trailer. Literally as soon as I pulled out of the driveway it fell over on my trailer because one of my straps suddenly broke. Luckily nothing broke and I just needed to bend the turn signal a bit to make it straight again. But I managed to get it home safely and in one piece. When I got home, and I started to unload it my dad pulled up and was surprised to see I had brought a motorcycle. My dad was ok with it but my mom wasn’t super happy but now she’s ok with it but she gave me some rules to follow which I actually agree with. But I picked up a 07 Suzuki GZ250 and it’s so fun to ride. I really love riding it, it’s not super fast but it makes me happy.

    Never be in neutral at a stop...a car approaching from rear can quickly end you. Always be in first ready to move.

    • @garavonhoiwkenzoiber
      @garavonhoiwkenzoiber Před 7 měsíci +1

      I've always heard that but how quick can you respond to that situation? A car is approaching from behind and what point do you change from "he's going to stop" to "he's not going to stop!" by the time you decide the second, there's no way you can pull away quick enough. Not to mention when stopped at a light, I'm sitting upright so no longer inline with my mirrors. :/
