Thanks, faggots.

What makes you excited to get on the bike?


I just took the MSF course, bought a bike and rode it around the parking lot but truth be told I'm more scared of it (ninja 300) than excited. I don't ride it because there's nowhere to ride around here but traffic (I live in a pretty congested city) and I don't have time to go out far to a big open area with wide open roads, not that im ready for the highway anyway

Do any of you have fun riding in the city or what?

It feels like it but it doesn't. If it does it's shit

how much will that cost me? i dont know shit about carbs

or should i just get rid of this and get a EFI bike

That's how the first couple of weeks go but it gets better if you don't eat shit and die

When I first got my bike () two months ago, I gave myself a literal, full-blown panic attack thinking about how I'm going to die riding it. I almost had to call out of work.

When I had it delivered I just paced around it for a solid 30 minutes afraid to get on. I eventually suited myself up and drove around my neighborhood for 45 minutes, working on my shifting and braking. I could hardly do either.

Through necessity, I rode the backstreets to work. Over the days of riding back and forth from work on calm streets the sheer terror abated to fear, to mild apprehension.

I got over my fear when I had to ride 45 miles to the next town over and back on main roads.
I still have that mild apprehension though, I don't want to lose it because I don't want to get cocky.

Anyway, now I'm zipping around town on that thing like it's no one's business and I have a blast doing it.

Also riding in the city is fun if you can lanesplit. Otherwise it's like with a car but worse.

If you feel like watching some youtube videos, all it'll cost you is your time and however much carb cleaner costs where you are.

I work at a harley dealer

AMA I guess.

Bout tree fiddy

Just do it yourself. Like said there's lots of guides for n00bs and youtube videos that break down the process.
