Any interest in a Newbie Ride, 3/22/25...?

Hopefully I’ll have a bike by next month and will make a ride.

Great ride today, easy as a Sunday morning

Well, that was a fun little ride.

@atoyf , thanks for joining. Sorry you had to split off - I hope the ride home was good. Enjoy your upcoming track day!

@needles , it was nice to meet you (again?). Thanks for coming out and for being so receptive to feedback.

Cheers,
FM

I got to say @FoolishMortal - it was so awesome to meet you. Really enjoyed the time riding the Triple with ya! I learned a crap ton in the few hours we were together.

* Balls of the feet on the pegs
* Anchor with your legs
* Keep the arms loose
* Don't cut in on left turns too early
* Look and lean in with your shoulder with turns.
* Get your suspension looked at (welp, I threw that one in )!
* Do your exercises

Looking forward to putting these things into practice. Mexican food at the Rancho Fino was a solid. My hips and legs were screaming at the end of our ride, lol. @atoyf - great to meet you. I didn't put 2 and 2 together that we are practically neighbors!

Thanks again Y'all. Well worth the morning!

@kneedraggeroldy Sorry to hear it. Hope everything turns out okay.

Thanks much for the well wishes! Kinda got some stuff taken care of for our middle son and was able to get out and ride Sunday instead so all in all, worked out ok. Lokks like you all had a good time as did we. Was a great day for some throttle therapy which we needed

Did see a group of riders with EMS due to a downed rider. ...sigh.....seems to happen almost every weekend around the lake. Be safe out there fellow two wheeled barfers!

Happy to do it, and yes, that's quite a list!

I'll probably do this again in a few months. If you're interested, you're always welcome. Maybe there will even be two students next time...
