Got some seat time

this weekend.

I'm just learning so friend came over Sunday morning and we found some almost vacant country roads close to the house for me to ride on.

One had 5 or 6 good sharp turns and an S turn and things went pretty smooth.Jerry rode behind me so he could look for things I was screwing up on.He found a few.

Today I went back on my own and stretched the ride even further.I also found a empty church lot and practiced maneuvers at idle speed and U turns.I also practiced coming to an almost complete stop and without putting my feet down on all practice routines.

I think my thick skull is absorbing some of the things I've been reading.



Happy's Happy.

nice slow speed maneuvers is a biggy also try learing to shift your weight from side to side is a must, just keep in mind a lot of accidents happen by not negotiating turns in the correct maner
