First Ridin Lessons Ever

Country Boy 22 · 06-23-2008, 05:01 PM

I'm proud to announce that thanks to a few of the members of this forum, I received my first ever riding lessons on friday. Got enough practice to allow me to ride approx. 100 miles round trip friday night and saturday. All of what i learned got lots of use on saturday.

Finished a decent ride on Tuesday, got to actually take a few turns, love them. Doing 70 around a few of them, got me thinkin I LOVE TURNS! Gonna have to start ridin more to have a chance at trying out a track day or something.

But might I suggest keeping your eyes on the turns and not on your speedometer!

Damn, 70's pretty fast when just starting out. Use to freak me out a bit. Be careful. Always remember, if you're in a bind, LEAN MORE.
