Default My first bike!

1972 CB100: 100cc's of fury! Not really, but it is a blast. I hope to learn the basics an get myself comfy with riding for a while then move into somthing with more then 11HP. I've had it up to about 40MPH and there was still some pull left. So far I've figured out what ever I buy next won't have a kick start or a carburetor.

you are every n00b's hero he'll never know he had.

i went from 28hp to 123hp first to second bike, and i feel like it was a big, but manageable step.

You'll learn the basics of reading traffic, and not accidentally overpowering, but in the end its up to maturity to see what you'll do with the big guns under your nuts.

you = hero

keep up the good work. how many miles / day are you averaging.
