I love summer weather. I swear to God, it's so much better now. Hello, bike season! I swear to God, all the bikes come out and it's so...... fucking annoying.
I hate R6 riders. I'm going to leave it at that.
I haven't done my 500 mile break in. I think I'm on my 50th mile, LOLOLOLOL, which means I can't go over 4000 rpm and I'm on a bloody Kawasaki, this means my top speed is ~35mph. It runs so lean, it takes me forever to warm up the engine, WHY DOESN'T IT HAVE A FUEL INJECTION? The Canadians get a fuel injector, why can't I get a fuel injector? I went online and was like why do I always have to open up the choke all the way and they looked at me like wtf is a choke, how old is your bike? Fucking Kawasaki, this bike better last me forever.
I need to practice my traffic driving. Right turns (against a red) are especially tricky because I sometimes forget to straighten my front wheel before I brake, which could ultimately mean a drop. That and I use my rear brake too much, which could ultimately kill me.
It's true what they say though, the center of gravity (although its pretty high now with the new body design) on the N250 is still so wonderful that I can recover my mistakes pretty easily so far. I think it helped that I practiced on a 500cc cruiser, which sucked very much.
I went online and watched all these terrible and gruesome crash videos. This guy who was thrown underneath a truck and had his torso cut in half, another guy who high sided onto a big rig and splattered his blood and guts all over the vehicles, basically all these people dying for accidents that would have been laughable if done in a car. It helps me to remember that this is a hobby that could kill me anyday at any second, and that I have people at home who worry about me. I'm not particularly daring, I don't want to stunt and I don't want to track ride (who has the money these days anyways?) I'm pretty damn happy to be riding rural roads at 35mph with the sun shining through the trees. (Nao: WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST BUY A FUCKING SCOOTER THEN?)
That said, the black paint job makes my butt very uncomfortable.
