New Rider/ New bike
Hey guys, I just got a 07 ninja 500r that I will ride for my first time tomorrow afternoon. It will be my first time ever riding, but I have a pretty good understanding on how to operate a motorcycle... I'm really good with a stick shift car and hopefully I can convert those skills over to a bike. If you guys have any info for me please help out. Thanks

Always look twice for cars. People are relentless for bikers now a days. You will see throughout the forum these people are called "Cagers" I believe recently a fellow KLX250S rider was almost ran into a Jersey Barrier by a tractor trailer truck. Always have a escape plan whilst riding among many vehicles.

Ok... I just got my first bike yesterday and I rode it for the first time and it went great. I only stalled like twice and I caught on right away. It is just like drivin a stick shift car. Man! Ridin is so damn exzilarating! I cant get enough! And I'm glad I got the 500 cuz it's really easy on me when I need it to be and when I want some speed it can GO!
