How do you like it, have you had a chance to ride it at all? _____________________________ If it can fit between my legs, I can ride it! (in reply to dd74) Post #: 2

RE: new to the forum - 2/28/2006 7:44:48 AM    dd74   Posts: 11 Joined: 2/27/2006 Status: offline Thanks! I love it as a starter bike, feel very comfortable and confident on it. I was really wanting the comfort and knowing that i could handle the bike. With the Ninja I can stand pretty much flat footed and its not too heavy. Its a 97, a bit older, but like i said a definate great starter bike. I got my license in the end of August, so i got to ride in Sep and Oct. Not tons of riding,but got some great times in! Was a little nervous at first, but with more time i was loving it! I plan on upgrading next year. Get a full summer out of this one and more experiance behind me. (in reply to CBR Chick) Post #: 3

One thing to remember, don't get too confident, that's when something will go wrong. Keep you're wits and stay alert! other then that have fun, and ride safe! _____________________________ If it can fit between my legs, I can ride it! (in reply to pitsvtec) Post #: 5

RE: new to the forum - 3/1/2006 2:25:30 PM    dd74   Posts: 11 Joined: 2/27/2006 Status: offline Thanks ladies, and any advise is VERY much appreciated. As far as the confident thing..i was more referring to the size of the bike and being able to touch my feet to the ground. I did take the riders coarse. i went through M.O.S.T., it was great! Learned alot and passed with flying colors, which i guess i impressed myself because i never rode before. Practice practice practice! (in reply to Mini Me) Post #: 7

Now it's not so much of an issue. But I still say start small. _____________________________ Ride for the love of it, not for the attention from it. See you riding! (in reply to dd74) Post #: 8

RE: new to the forum - 3/24/2006 2:20:16 PM    ladybug600   Posts: 49 Joined: 3/23/2006 Status: offline when i first started riding i had an ex 500 and i went a month kinds shaky until i got my corbin seat! i'm telling you, if there is only one thing you do to your bike the corbin seat for the ex 500 makes the most difference! i suddenely felt like i belonged on that bike and so comfortable that i could keep pace with my boyfriend (who's been riding 10 years) in the corners! i also had the full muzzy exhaust and that thing would even make the harley heads turn and look (much to their own embarassment!). good for you. if you need any advice just ask i know a lot about the bike!

A gixxer boy helped me along with everything and basically gave me bike fever (very contagious). I've been waiting 6 years for this, and it's finally happened!!!!!! Took the RENJ course and just got a 98 F3 (after looking for 3 months), and in the process of getting some gear....someone mentioned discounts on one of the topics? BTW checked out the power trip stuff- the she devil jacket would be perfect since my bike is red but do they have a catalog or do you physically have to go to a store????? thanks in advance for any help!
