Thanks NY Erion929 I really appriciate the info. That was a really big help. I guess I'll keep working at it. At least there are some people on here that dont suck! Whats with it with you guys? You all have nothing but negative things to say? Get a life!!
Its my first bike, I just started riding three months ago. I never even owned a stick until I jumped on the bike. I already built a 12 o'clock bar for it and I'm starting on a cage. But I'm not a scared the BIATCH about it. I'll ride how I want, and as for the BLOGGER who wants to stay away from me on the road, good! I dont ride with girls anyway. You hesitate!
And I'll have you know the call me the Canyon Monster. (lol) No one can catch me on that bike through the canyons. No one!!!
(guess where this is going?)

I hate to say but I have a feeling this one will end up a greesey spot on the road like all punks with that I ride like I want n cant be caught bs attitude.
d00d you are right, I cant catch you. But I will ride home n be able to ride another day. With that tude you have you are gonna get yourself killed n prolly some inocent by-stander. GTFU n use the head on your shoulders n not that inch worm in your pants.

How the hell did I miss this gem of a thread??!

Oh dear. Please slow your roll.

Sorry, but if it comes down to catching you I don't think there'd be much of a challenge.....hell, I'll even do it on an EX500.
Are you open to advice?
If not, continue to the next post...if you are, then read this:
-Pull in the reigns a bit
-Drop the ego
-Educate yourself on riding
-Learn the respect of handling a motorcycle
Dude, you gotta crawl before you can walk. Learn how to scrub the chicken strips away before you go stunting all over the place.
With the attitude you've exhibited so far you're gonna end up hopitalized or dead.
I'm speaking from experience as I've seen this waaay too many times over the years.

Kind of beating a dead horse... but here's my .02.
Been riding 14 years now, crashed 3 times out of 5 bikes.
1 lowside first year (55mph, no damage to me or bike), another low side 2 years ago (45mph, no damage to me, totaled the bike), and flipped a wheelie 5 months ago (pain you can't comprehend).
So, the wheelie flip was me learning how to slow em down, not ride the highway. (not that hard if you've taken the time to learn to balance, and progress your wheelies over time)
So, I'm at the practice spot, and i'm practicing keeping em around 15mph... learning to catch idle. Still not sure to this day why, but my hydrolic line on my handbrake failed, and I looped it at maybe 15-20mph. I control my wheelies with the brake, so by the time I realized there was a problem it was too late. (past balance point)
Long story short, I'm rebuilding the bike now, and have a 65 thousand dollar surgery bill for my shattered leg.
I guess the point of me saying that, is you can't control all circumstances to prevent crashing. Unfortunately, unless you quit... it's going to happen. Just the odds of the sport.
What you can do, is get off your ego, and listen to other peoples advice. Nobody's trying to slam you as a person... we've just all seen riders get outside their ability lvl prematurely, and pay the price. (both of my lowsides were because I couldn't control my machine. with my ability now, I could have prevented both crashes. Experience.)
So if you want to learn, learn progressively, and start with lower speeds. I can't say slower will save you any pain, but maybe you can recover a newb mistake were on the highway, you have to be on point or you'll get yourself, or somebody else killed. (Know how to recover a tank slap at 75mph?)
