My rear brake is very touchy. Twice I've locked it up without meaning to, luckily both times I came through it okay. But it wasn't fun at all. I can't reach the front brake with any less than all four fingers extended. And the clutch lever is hard to pull, so that requires all four as well. So now, ...

Haha..after reading the above replies, I realize we all say the same things :bounce2: ... The stuff about the mics in the helmet :laughing: those recordings could probably be packaged and sold! We'd all get a kick out of it, well at least I know I would. If you make it happen, lemme know. I'd love ...

The 500r is a perfect beginner bike. +1 +2 That's a great bike to start on. +3 Mine's an 1100. I thought it might be too much to start with too, until I worked with it a few times. I'm loving it, and I'm an average-sized, middle-aged female. Just practice what they teach you in the MSF. It will hel...

I dropped my bike about 10 min. after I hopped on it for the first time :laughing: Of course, those were the pre-MSF days when you taught yourself how to ride (the hard way). :laughing: I dropped it the first time I rode it, at a crowned part in the road. Went to put my left foot down, and didn't r...
