Exactly.

I think it's in one of the books I have...Sportbike Riding Techniques, Proficient Motorcycling...

Proficient Motorcycling by Hough...yup that's where I read it.

Not meant as a criticism by any means... but your mention of being on the bike for a couple months and feeling really comfortable reminds me of that statistic about how the majority of crashes happen after your fist 6 months (or was it a year?) when you start to get overly comfortable and start to push past your limits. Careful out there!

I crashed in my first two weeks

I'm comfortable in that when I go out for a ride i don't have any anxiety and I'm not shaking, I'm not dragging knee or anything, I'm going to try not to become any part of a statistic. Like I said my girls dad has been riding a really long time and he's been working with me but most of the time I ride alone

. BTW everyont on this site is really nice.

I just got a yellerSV too

I've had mine even less time than you. Probably almost a month now but not quite. It is a great bike though, I'm loving mine so far and I'm sure I'll love it all the more once I'm more proficient at riding it.

Never enough thanks to Speed and LovinmyF4i.
