My first couple hours on the Ninja.

Well, that was pretty interesting. I killed the bike around 10 or so times at stop signs trying to get going in first which was pretty embarrasing. People laughed. I also find the stopping process rather complicated, what with remembering to use both brakes, downshift, and keep the clutch in, I had a near fall stopping (skidding) on some sand. Also I keep leaving my blinker on, which must be nice for the people behind me. I gotta say though, it's a blast. woohoo! :icon_thumleft:

They had the sweepers out on 25th yesterday
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -
they had them on 32nd too

I would honestly recommend for you to take a motorcycle safety course. You'll learn a lot of stuff you would never learn from just hopping on and riding. Good luck and be safe.

This is my first bike, I have a scooter, but it is a CVT transmission and the handling is also very different. I do wear full gear tho besides pants (armor jacket, quality helmet, armor gloves) so I'm not out squiding around or anything.
