Just ride nice and slow through the country. Let her lead and set the speed. As she feels more comfortable she'll go faster.

I remember back when I thought driving 45 MPH was fast and scary, and I was scared of riding on the highway.

Now I prefer the highway, and the faster the better. :-P
I too like speed ..I had a 2003 Honda 919.. I could cruise 75-90 on the highway no problem. But going around a turn semi drunk, a semi tractor was heading twards me and over the line .OH NOOOO I saw God and sold the Bike ,No crash.. But scared the life outta me .. Im not the slow type .. But with a 250 rebel . I better buy like a 550 or 750 to cruise with her ..

so i got a response from my post in craigslist about a job. I fibbed a lil since i am desperate and this guy is all like (( HIYA!! i have an opening for some one to do commercial HVAC service)) I can't get a break. I can do light commercial but full on commercial is not my gig. I'm just not that inclined on it. then again i just posted this resume yesterday , to start fresh and i took a different approach with some help from DRBRUTUS. seems like it's working. i didn't wanna seem like i had any weak points so i didn't say light commercial. I just said commercial. go figure....

I didn't like the highway when I rode the 250 rebel when I first got my license. It was such a small bike and it topped out at 60 or even a little less. I always felt like a target.

Now that I have a larger bike with more power (insert Tim the tool man Taylor sounds here) I don't feel like a target anymore.

I used to joke about wanting a "Target" shirt with the giant bullseye on the back to wear when I rode it.

When I had my bike accident it was head on at 50mph. and the cop said if I'd had a passenger chances are me or them wouldn't have been thrown over car and we'd both have probably died........

On a potential w00t moment. I may have found a cheap ass camera that'll work on win 98.....:bigjoint:

hey twisty...I feel irish today:bigjoint:...when I went to ireland 4 years ago it was really odd, I felt more at home than any place I had ever visited. It was a deja vu sort of experience, I still didn't kiss the blarney stone.

my friends shop finances used bikes, so they have a bunch repos etc. most of their repo bikes are ready for the junk yard....

I peed on the Blarney Stone :wink:

I love Ireland, last time I visited I traced my ancestry and found out I'm actually half Scottish.

we went for the motorcycle race on the isle of mann and we did scotland and ireland, it was cool. to kiss the blarney stone you have to bend over backwards and my back aint made for such nonsense.

I worked with a guy from Isle of Man.. and his friend was killed doing that race.. those guys are crazy......... those small stone walls along most of the course are pretty dangerous... can't avoid either sliding into them or thrown over them... .. never mind the damn structures......... you hit your knees and elbows on buildings along the way they're so close..
