Thanks, I am not even close to confident on this bike. I am fat so that helps in turning etc but I still slow way down. I am going to get a new helmet and jacket today. I was wearing my car helmet and a leather coat. I do not plan on doing any tricks. That is kind of how I got a good deal on the bike.

The original owner was doing a wheelie with his girl on the back and the bike ran out from under them kicking them both off. He didn't want the bike anymore and it sat for 3 years at 400 miles. A kid at James work bought the bike and replaced the forks and about all of the damage. He needed to unload it quick and was selling it for what he had in it. He had the whole thing torn apart before and I got it with the left fairing off and the piece that goes along the bottom off. I am going to wait and install them when I am pretty confident that I will not go down. He put 2000 odd miles on it.

I am ok at riding, take the turns slow, and am so so as far as the clutch is concerned. Actually I was fine except for one mishap where I killed it 5 times as I was in the wrong gear. The last time I ended up starting in 2nd as I wasn't sure what I was doing. Didn't realize it until I shifted into third. I probly put 30 miles or so on it yesterday.

Thanks for the offer JET, I may take you up on it sometime.
