Today I got a little more practice in on some back roads and ended taking a wrong turn and ended up on one of the main roads and with my luck theirs a big yellow school bus behind me at the intersection. (this is the first time for me in traffic) I've been practicing my takeoffs and doing pretty good at them but my takeoffs are slower than your avg. if you know what I mean. Well needless to say I stalled the bike twice at two lights before I could get back to the less traveled roads. Even though I didn't plan on getting into rush hour traffic it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, I just might do it again tomorrow. |
