Re: I'm growing some--- Hi and welcome!
I just jad my first 100miles ride yesterday and it was great! You'll get more balls, as you go on.  I wouldn't go any smaller than a 250, 250 is just enough fun for an entry level rider. Maybe you can fnid someone in you area to ride with you, makes it much easier to relax. Just enjoy your ride and don't think about your in-laws too much, ride hard or stay home (without in-laws!!_)Have a wonderful time riding and good to have you with us |

Re: I'm growing some--- dhgeyer wrote: I am not familiar with the Scorpion brand, but I looked up the specs on the web. Looks like you made good choices. Does the jacket have a foam back protector in it? I may look into this brand, as we have to re-outfit my daughter. Anyway, I'd say you're off to a great start! Below is a picture of my jacket that I bought from New Enough. Yes, it has the armor and the back protector. It's a heavy jacket with a liner but once you remove the liner and open the vents it's fine in 80 degree weather (thus far). It is really well built and you can't beat the price from New Enough...I know. Scorpion All In Leather Jacket  _________________ 2009 V-Star 650 Classic White Pearl 2007 Suzuki GZ250 Black |

Re: I'm growing some--- Welcome Aboard Victoria!! It's good to see you took the MSF BRC. As mentioned, go somewhere where you can practice the slow riding techniques as you will need them. Also practice your stopping from speed. That is something you WILL need at sometime in your riding career. Ride Safe.

Re: I'm growing some--- Hi Victoria and welcome. My wife also has Scorpion helmets. 1 EXO400, 200 and (2) EXO700's. The 700's are her favorites. Enjoy your ride and be safe. GZ Brian

Re: I'm growing some--- Don't stay TOO close to the side of the road as that shoulder drop off ......or the dip of a curb/gutter can throw you for a loop if you drift TOO far to the right.
Easy rider...she said she rides the side roads, not on the side of the road. hahaha _________________ "Until you've had a good cigar and a shot of whiskey, you're missing out on the second and third best things in life" |

Re: I'm growing some--- When I was young, the saying was "everything that I like to do is either immoral, illegal, or fattening." The new version appears to be "everything that I like to do is either immoral, illegal, fattening or dangerous."
