Survived my first outting with the bike!
 
And so far I love it... dare I say I enjoy it more then my car? :mrgreen:

The bike is very easy to handle, with a smooth power band, it just glides. I cruised around my neighborhood for a good hour, then went to the Wyckoff car show and did a max of 35 and it was just smooth sailing.

Just my permit, rode with one of my good friends. It was a nice casual lesson so I learned a lot and just enjoyed myself.

I couldn't stop thinking about it today so I was pretty psyched!

after this riding season is over and you still jonesing to ride it, than i would suggest you contact one of the riding clubs and go take a track coarse - NOT so you can drive like a moron, but to use as a learning tool - the instructors will in one day show you more than you learn on your own in a year about cornering, braking, and what not to do if something comes up - just a suggestion have a shop full of fast bikes - not all know how to ride them even tho they say they do -jz

I will have to shoot you a message next weekend when I bring my bike up North, maybe we can ride around since you are close.

JW :D

Amazing bike, stay safe on that thing bro.:cheers: I wanted the black and grey one with the carbon fiber decal kit and carbon fiber rear seat cover.:drool:

ar0ck 05-08-2008 08:49 PM

Someone please call me to ride, all my friends keep backing out! No wonder so many people ride alone on their permits... (I didn't, I'm just saying)

sweetbmxrider 05-08-2008 08:51 PM

Mine's almost on the road, permit is imminent... but that wouldn't help the riding with permits issue :lol:

Mike 05-09-2008 07:08 AM

JW 05-09-2008 07:38 AM

Well hopefully I will be able to drive my bike up next weekend and you guys could ride with me if you wanted.
