First time: Promptly popped the clutch .. did a perfect semi-circle .. got up close and personal with asphalt. Ignored the strawberry on my knee and got right back on trying to act like nothing happened while friends watched silently and made my way on to the main road on the Honda CR125 with knobbys that had no business on the road. But keep in mind MJ's Thriller album had just been released and nobody knew the definition of squid yet so yeah I as the OG pimpin squid while most of you where still living in your daddy's nads.

NOT MY 1st Time, BUT... it was 1993 (I bet I just lost a few readers) and I would go to the Honda dealership almost every weekend and just look at the 900RR. One day the sales person told me that I could put a couple miles on the bike (6.3 to be exact, because he wanted to keep it under 10 miles). He knew I couldn't afford it (mainly because of insurance) but he let me take it for a test drive anyway. It was the happiest 6 miles of my life. Unfortunately, they went out of business. Otherwise, I would have drove all the way back to Illinois just to by my new bike from them simply because of this guy from years ago.

Ohhhh boy... I remember every detail perfectly! But it'll more than likely turn into a huge novel like pretty much all of my "short stories" do, and I'm really tired now so I'll post it up tomorrow when I'm awake, lol

My first time was when I got my bike home by a truck, I unloaded the sucker, jumped on the bike, started it, and my garage is kind of steep so I killed it like 4 times, then I just gave it gas and flew in the garage, ended up locking the front brake, sliding little bit, but ended up stopping at the right moment, that was it. The next day I jumped on the bike again, no helmet or anything, just wanted to ride it in the subdivision, killed it 3 times ( i think I put in in 3rd gear), turned the bike around and rolled it back to the house, relaxed and jumped on it again, and this time it didn't die and I rode around like that for about 3 days ( no more than 25mph, and it felt fast as hell), till my neigbor cop told me not to ride without a helmet and no licence . So I got my licence, helmet and took the bike to get inspected about 10 miles away. As soon as I turned into traffic I got scared, all the cars were around me, I felt very uncomfortable but excited at the same time, 4 mins later I was cool. And then I jumped on the highway, as soon as I hit 65mph I felt the wind, and got down real low, people were flying by me and I was like, man, I felt like I was doing at least 240mph, I was scared shitless, the wind was freaking me out. On the way back it was much better, I even got on it little bit, but didn't go faster than 70 mph for the next 2-3 weeks, was too scared. I think it took me like a month to get used to the wind, and now I am very comfortable, wind doesn't bother me one bid.
