Motorcycle Enthusiasts?

Anybody else ride motorcycles here? I just picked it up last October taking a MSF course and I love it.

I've had previous motorcycle experience on dirtbikes, but I decided to get something cheap to start out for a few months and am looking to upgrade really soon.

Currently I ride a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R. It's a pretty fun starter bike, it does the job.

If you don't ride yet, is there a reason you don't? Safety, visibility, no skills, money?

My dad is a motorcycle nut. I thought they were super cool, myself, until at one point while taking me out for a ride when I was still a kid, we ended up running into unexpectedly ridiculous high winds. This wasn't a big deal for him, so he quickly adjusted for it, riding in the same manner as the image below:

While this was all routine for him, I found the whole thing to be so utterly terrifying at that time, that I never, ever, went on another ride at any point afterwards. :D

Lmao, awe! Glad you're okay though! My bike does horrible in high wind scenarios cause it's so light and my state's known for being windy a lot of the time. But oh well.

Maybe next time tell him you'll only go on days less than 5 mph winds. ^_^:D
