Re: Learning to ride a motorcycle...
I bought a motorcycle when I was a senior in highschool. I bought a helmet and gloves, but that's the only gear I bought. It was a GSXR600. I never laid it down, but when I left town for a couple days my friend laid it down doing about 15mph. Didn't really mess it up, but a few weeks later I was getting used to it and before I knew it I was doing 125 on the highway EVERYTIME I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I had no idea before hand, but I'm totally addicted to speed. Doing 80MPH soon felt like doing 30mph.
I realized that one wipeout and I'd be dead, so I sold it. So far, it's added 3 years to my life, and I think it'll add many more. Take my advice...
Don't EVER let your friends ride it unless they have enough to cover any damage they could cause.
You have to repsect their power (I don't)
and...
DON'T EVER LET YOUR FRIENDS RIDE IT!
