Default first ride

my friend got his 2003 suzuki 1300 hayabusa back from the shop, and took me for a ride it was awesome rode for about 40 mins, my neck and legs are sore, but it was cool got to feel a number or 0 to over 100 mph accelerations, the best was 0-145 ,thats the fastest we got up to, were both 18 and he does'nt feel like killing someone but you guys might think were nuts but i have so much trust in him, haha,even though he is 5'8 or so and 135-140 pounds he is able to handle the bike with me on the back, 6'0 160 so it was amazing the ride was so much fun ,can't wait until i get a bike ,you guys have memories on your first ride with someone or by yourself?

MSF class. Nighthawk 250. Scary as hell at 15mph when it's your first time.

yamaha enduro 80cc dual sport. riding in my sisters neighborhood. saw an open field, said 'isnt this supposed to be an off road bike too?' cracked the gas and tore across the field. holy moly it was fun - coming off a life of bicycles. woo!

next day: rode a standard from minneapolis over to wisconsin and back to buy fireworks. most terrifying 2 hours of my life. afterwards i thought i was invincible. then i wrecked. what is countersteering? i had a painful lesson in what it isn't.
