welcome to the forums

 

Welcome to the forums. In case nobody has said it already, please take a MSF class if you haven't already. Even old dudes learn stuff in that class that can help them to live another day. Have fun, be safe, and gear up......you know the routine.

 

Well I read your other post about the MSF class so nevermind, and good for you.

 

CONTRADS...Fellow female rider!! LOVE THE BIKE....blue is a good color for you.
I'm a new rider too. Just bought my bike 2 weeks ago. It's a 97' ninja 250. I love it.I alsotook the MSF course, but I'm still learning the Art of "LEAN TO TURN". I'm getting it, but it's taking time. I've been riding the bike on the local back roads of PA. Veryhilly,and some banking, to learn the lean to turn concept.Besides the ride being envigarating, anda diffenate de-stresser there's ....NO TRAFFIC!I also took my bike out to a local park,and with all that space,I practiced slow turningfigure 8's (slow, controlled turns), and 10.20.and 30 mile emergancy stops.Ifyour going to do it,make sure youunderstand how to break 75/25 ratio. READ UP on it...people with experience have a lot of good information.
Hey, listen...good luck and welcome to KF!!
