Default Took your advice

So I took your collective advice. I have been looking at smaller 500cc bikes. A friend recently took a bike in trade for some work it was a 97 Suzuki



So I went over to his place for a ride. Keep in mind I have the most experience on a dirt bike, only once ridden a street bike, and that was a cruiser, not a power house at all.

Im not sure if it was because I was more used to a dirtbike or what. But I was happy just grinning riding that thing. It was a pleasant suprise it has some go but not enough to scare me. Only had it up to about 110, I was in shorts and a tshirt, on top of it all the bike had no plate so I was concerned about the wrong type of attension. Hense main roads were off limits. One positive note though is I did realize my inexperience, and general lack of skill on the road with this type of bike. My friend billy's drive is dirt and I almost took a spill several times.

So anyhow I was just posting to say thanks for the cautions.
