Hey Dan. Congrats on the bike! At first go slow and get a feel for the bike and riding it. It does take time. Let us know where you are so some of us could ride with you. We are here to help, so don't be shy.

Nice to "meet" you all. I am 44 and have always wanted to ride and am finally doing it! Took the MSF course 3 weeks ago and just bought a 2008 Nighthawk 250 this week. Yesterday evening was my first time riding outside of a parking lot. I had to be careful on the dirt roads because, of course, it's pretty easy to skid out. I did not want to go down on my first day! (Or ever.) That worked out. I had to go slow and turn carefully. I had to ride on a 45-50mph road for a half mile or so, and, I've gotta say, it was scary. Very scary knowing that a twitch of an arm or a rock in the road could put me on the pavement. I'm curious if this is normal for a beginner? That 45-50mph road is the main one in town and I'll need to drive it to get anywhere. I'm looking for some reassurance! I'll get comfortable with this, right? I'll be looking into how to change the oil next... Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
