we be ridin dirty

All my life i have always wanted to buy myself a motorcycle. Over spring break i decided it was time to buy my first motorcycle. My friend showed me a picture of one from this dealer in richland center and i went and took a look at it and i really liked it. I had ridden dirtbikes a lot and fourwheelers so i was used to the shifting concept and i thought it would be the same but it really is a lot different. I talked to my friends and my family and they thought it would be a good starter bike because it was only 500cc and i didn't want to kill myself right away. I thought about it more and I bought it. It took forever to go thru the process but after i bought it and i started it up and i killed it right away. I finally took off and started driving it around the building and i tried to turn and its alot different than riding a dirtbike because you usually put your leg out and you have to lean a lot more on a motorcycle especially on a crotch rocket. You also have to get used to turn signals and stuff which is different but pretty simple.

I took it back to my place in la crosse and practice just riding around the block and in the alley behind my apartment complex. It took me a while to get used to the clutch especially when starting from being stopped. I didn't want to go out and get into an accident right away especially since i only have my learners permit. Eventually i kept driving further and further away from my apartment. One of the times i was driving downtown and i killed it at a stoplight and i felt like a complete retard, but i guess thats just one of the things you have to deal with when learning something new. I am now a whole lot better and can drive it pretty much anywhere in town i just need to take it out on the interstate or on a highway which i will soon once the weather gets nicer and i dont have to work. I just have to watch out for the other drivers out there because i already had someone pull out in front of me and almost hit me. I am very happy with my purchase and i can already tell that im gunna want to get a 600cc in about a year or two for more power. I am looking forward to riding it a lot more throughout the summer and glad that its a lot better on gas than cars.
