    Just drove it all over the place seeing friends. This is my first street bike and I'm a new rider but I do have a few years of motocross experience. On my first ride, it was real unnerving when the bike wasn't running right. Now that I fixed it, woohooo! I just drive and mind all I learn't in the safety course.

    My first challenge was to get it out of my neighborhood to get gas...my first road trip! :lol: Taking a break now, my wrists are sore.

    welcome
    just remember not to look for berms to bounce off of in the corners
    no wheelies thru the puddles
    it's bad manners to lockup the back wheel to setup for a corner
    and resist the urge to roost the dude behind you

    And keep your foot on the pegs when making a turn...
    I have gotten some air over the manhole covers. :wink:

    Taking a break??? You live in Winterpeg man, no time for breaks - get out and ride as much as possible before that toxic white stuff starts falling! :D
