Default ok time to ride!

hey! the names Joshua I used to frequent the socalriders site alot I ride a honda RC46. Ive been riding for about 2 yrs off and on(silverwing gl500) now that I have my own bike I'm riding 24/7. right now I'm just waiting to put 1000 mi. on the bike so i can take the advanced rider course(765 to go). I really want to get to a level where I can confidently do a track day and not hold everyone else up or wad my bike up. I want to try and see if i can get a knee down by the end of this year. anyway I look forward to meeting and riding with some of you guys.

What's up Bro! Great bike choice, knee down no problem. In regards to throttle response and braking one of the most stable bikes ever made. All around bike of the year for so many years in so many magazines its crazy!

Nice tank bag too. :thumbup

Let me know if you want some custom gauges faces. :browani
Oh yeah watch out for electrical gremlins, these bikes do have notoriously poor regulator rectifiers.
