Wednesday is a big day for me. I'm starting my m2 course and soon I'll be riding my very own bike. :)
 
Been years since I owned a bike and many since I got to ride one. One thing tho, I will never give up that endorsement. I just had to take a fast written test and ride the bike thru a small course and I had my license. If I gave it up even for a year I would have to go take a weekend long course.

That's a very different system from here in Canada. We have our licenses for life, once we pass our road tests.

Great news Novita!! I got mine out yesterday for a ride and found quite a few diehards like myself out for their first ride. I couldn't stop smiling afterwards, lol.
Such a great feeling to ride.;)
 
My husband & his friend are out putting the gas tanks back on & doing whatever else to them to get them running. Doubt they'll be on the road for another couple of weeks unless the weather changes.

Have to pay a small fee each year to keep the endorsement. If you don't pay then they take the cycle part off and you have to retest. I figure it's their way of making more money off us :(

Next week sucks, but the week after is sunny and warming up. Good riding in the GTA. :)

Best thing to remember is go easy on letting the clutch out when you start. Just ease it out until it starts to grab and then give it a little throttle until it's going and then you'll never stall, or take of too fast.
Everything else is easy, like riding a bike. Just be relaxed and know you're bike well and you'll have no problems.

The next things is: don't just grab a fist full of front brake lever and pull hard - if that front wheel stops spinning, you'll more than likely go down. At first, favour the rear brake, and only use two fingers choked up on the front brake lever until you learn how to use it.

Relax, and have fun!

My husband took both bikes for a short ride just around the area yesterday before the rain came. I can't wait, another 2-3 weeks perhaps.

You know, I rarely use my front brake. I tap the back and gear down and only use the front to stop and heavy brake when necessary, which Novita is never during cornering. ;)

I kind of like having a drum brake in the rear, instead of a disc, much softer brake feel and not so grabby right off. I rode the new Harley's last year and noticed the difference straight off compared to mine. Like they say, nothing beats a Honda for a good bike to ride. Don't need a name on a bike to look good, just some attitude. ;):cool: My 750 is more than fast enough to do whatever I want and handles well in corners, much better than an 83cu in Sportster. It's supposed to be a knock off it, yet it looks and rides better, lol. Got mine bored to an 1100, getting a 6speed gearbox next.
 
So much info. I did ok. I was really nervous and i dropped the bike once when i stalled it trying to do a figure 8. :(

You'll get the hang of it soon enough and be doing them one-handed like me. It's all in the knees and leaning the bike with them. My tank has wear marks from mine, lol. When you and the bike are one, it all comes together fast. ;)

You did figure 8's in your first session?! :eek: I don't blame you for dropping it. That seems too soon.

Glad to hear you're finally getting into it. :)

I always recommend that new riders first buy an older Japanese bike (preferably a Honda for reliability) for between $1500-2500, and sell it after a year for what they paid for it. In that first year they're going to drop the bike, and also figure out what they REALLY like about riding. Someone might *think* they want a GSXR, but once they get into it realize they prefer touring, or vintage, or wrenching/modding, or .... Or...

My husband & I both ride GSXR's. I don't think I'd want anything else but a sport bike. My first bike as a child was a '70's Honda mini bike. That was the best thing about growing up in the country.
