Default First time riding today..

So, I got to ride my 600 katana today. Farther than the devolpment that is. It was my first time riding..rode 17 miles on some back roads with my dad, whom was on his R1. Was pretty cool.

Edited incase there is any cops on here..

good thing you didn't get caught, I suggest waiting for those 12 days and signing up for an MSF class before any real riding happens

Don't want to break your bubble of happines but you do realize that if you get caught it's gonna take more than 12 days to get your permit right?

Heh, yes. You can't get your license until your 21 or something. We live in a pretty royal area though.

Nothing personal dude but wait till you have a MC permit. Living in a rural area with no license till your 21? Either you’re going to become a great runner or the next Lance Armstrong. + Chicks don’t like guys picking them up on a bicycle’s. If applicable have your pops bring you to track.

On an off note it’s nice to hear enjoyed your 1st taste.

Geez I atleast waited till I was 19 before I was comfy enough to hop on a bike. Although I put 700 Miles on mine in less than a week. It is my main transport now. And I assume the MC is the equivilant to Michigans (U.S.A.) CY endorsement?

well my father rode before and when i hit 15 i started lookin for a car to get, my older bro has an rx8 and i was thinking "Im not spending nearly as much as he spent", and so i got into bikes alot...

So me getting back into bikes got my dad back into it as well, so he bought both of us a katana, i loved it, and he did at first as well... untill he rode it for 10 minutes and felt a pain in his lower back and decidded he doesnt really like the bike anymore lol... so he decided to give it to me for a birthday present and a present for doing good in school as well...

Wow thats actually kind of odd, my back feels better on the katana then it does sitting in any cars.

small distances to me I guess isn't that big of deal..he was with his dad after all.

Makes me recall all those days driving my mom's Nova on the back roads when I was 13 or my own son letting him drive the truck at 11 (he's tall). Just one of those things that set well within my head.
