took it for a spin
« on: October 15, 2005, 12:50:59 PM »
I took my 750 for a little spin around the neighborhood today, HOLY #$%* THIS THING IS QUICK.
Wanted to go farther but no plates and no motorcycle license make that potentially very expensive, soon enough though.
This is my first motorcycle so bear with my excitement, damn these things are fun and so is setting off car alarms :)
I farted and made my son cry.

 so I took it out again and on the way back to my garage I wiped out and bent the clutch handle. To get to my garage I have to drive up a small grassy incline into an alley and goosed the throttle a bit on wet grass and mud, the rest was a blur I laid there laughing for a bit and picked up, boy my knee is sore and still mud stained.
So how long did it take You guys to crash when You started to ride?

About 30 feet. I was surprised by how far up a tree the Honda 50 could climb.

My first dump wel not dump that was in diapers. ;)

Anyway my first crash was a failed attempt at a hole shot on wet pavement. I can tell a 175 enduro can stand up faster than you can say %$#%^/. After running with it for 30-40 feet I crashed into the neighbors bushes. I wan't laughing but my onlookers were. ::)
