I will probably try to start riding it pretty quick also. We won't be trying any tricks or anything on the bike. We have friends that try things like standing straight up and siting on the tank and stuff though. I know those aren't big tricks or anything, but they have been only riding a month max. 2 of them have new 05 600s and one has a F3. We should probably think about geting permits.

Those are the idiots that raise everyone else's insurance. Morons... At least they aren't trying wheelies yet.

buy a copy of 'A Twist of the Wrist' or 'A Twist of the Wrist 2' by Keith Code and read them over and over and over. Best advice I can give, besides always wearing all your equipment, no matter how hot or wet it is.

that just made me cringe! OUCH!!!
Forget bikes, 4 wheels for me, if I 'lay it down' in a car, im not coming back, lol.


Reminds me of the scene from Terminator where he's ripping off his flesh....

I agree with the hashish + morphine use in this situation... cuz at least that way you wouldnt even care if it did hurt... which it wouldn't :)

I probably wont be riding it too much so I will be on 4 wheels most of the time. One of my friends likes to do burnouts. I know they are planning on doing wheelies. I just don't think they are good enough to do them yet. They say they can get the front tire off the ground but maybe not very much. I haven't seen.

They aren't really doing any tricks. Like most 20 yr olds, they talk alot of shit. None of them have the balls to get heavy on the throttle in my bike yet. What scares me the most about my bike is how easy it is to pop a wheely. Apparently this bike will do one in most of the gears (guy with cbr929 told me about all gears). That means if I hit WOT at any time, the front might lift, catch me off guard and go down.

I am just trying to get used to the basics of driving safely. I have only had it one night (last).

I wouldn't get nearly that worried about it. 1st gear is probably the only gear it would pull a wheelie when you weren't trying to do it. If you keep your body weight in the normal position you will be fine. I doubt your bike will even do a wheelie in 3rd with just throttle, even with trying. The thing that would worry me the most about that bike as a 1st bike is the weight. That was made a few years before they started shaving weight off the 1000's.

Even though we don't always get along the greatest, I would still rather show you some skills versus having you go down. So my offer stands. Erik would probably go with us too. Maybe we should have a DSMStyle ride?

Can me and the F4i come?

[JET]

Sure! I think I am going to start a thread on this!!
