Solow is still hangin on n fighting. He is able to reply yes or no question by blinkin his eyes. His gf Ana is goin thru multiple surgeries still. She has starting usin FB so it looks promising for her.
There has been a few fund raising events for their hospital bills this past wk. People still continued with the wkly "hood/city" rides.
This wk is the fund raising ride for him. His brothers and multiple family members from LA (he's Cambodian so they deep lol) will be here this wknd for the big ride.
I keep y'all posted on the event.
FYI it's wheelie Wednesday

Well, I just went out for a spin. Everything was going well, I took the first 15 minutes getting used to where the sweet spot is on the clutch. Went around the block a few times and felt pretty good. Unfortunately, I was at a red light and kept stalling out while trying to make a left. Car was honking at me and I panicked which caused me to gas hard. I started losing control and ended up falling. Wasn't going too fast, but damn. Not a good feel at all. Luckily I was wearing a decent leather jacket.

It's a decent bike but I wouldn't recommend it personally. It's fine for streets, once you get on the freeway it vibrates like crazy. I'd much rather have a larger displacement bike. Maxes out at 85ish.
I was originally going to try to buy an R6 when I finished paying my Cadillac. I'm most likely going to get an FXR instead, maybe a nightster.
Fam, you'll get it in no time. Above all, don't ride past your limits.
Also, I'm hopefully getting a job at Cycle Gear. The manager just really lags and I have to follow up all of the damn time. Applied online, went in something like 3 days later to drop off my resume and talk to the manager. Told me the process and that HR should give me a call but if they didn't to call him and he'll pull my profile manually. So I called him, said he'd have the AM call me to schedule an interview. Never called. I called back, got a phone interview, they'd call back to schedule a face to face. They didn't call back, so I did. I did my face to face on Wednesday and he said he'd stay in contact.
Pretty sure I'll have to contact him again.

How long does it take an absolute beginner to get comfortable riding?
Experiences?

all depends on the person. I'd say a weekend. To be absolutely comfortable riding your bike like you are with a car, I'd say a month.

I took the course, passed the test, and now have my license, but am still not comfortable riding on the street.
I am in negotiations to buy a bike now... and I think I am just going to take it out and practice in a parking lot until I feel totally comfortable getting on the road.

Took me a few hours. I've always rode bicycles and it's the same thing to me. So I took the class, which was easy and helpful. Gotta bike when I got some money. Then I rode it with my boy in my neighborhood for 10-20 minutes, then we were out. Couple hours later i'm on the highway doing 80.

necessary...especially for your first motorcycle, practicing hard braking, finding the friction point/getting smooth engagement of the clutch, low speed turns, are all things that will help you feel that much more confident on your ride. i'd also recommend hitting a freeway/highway (slow lane!!!) rather than riding around the neighborhood/city streets just because there is actually less information coming at you on expressways (just be easy on the on/off ramps!) than on the street. good luck getting the new ride!
