    If she has to, tell her to lay down beside her bike (out of harm’s way) for someone to see her and stop. Once they get out of the car, get her to ask the person for help because she really needs help lifting the bike back up. My MSF instructor taught us that.

    I just wiggled my handlebars back and fourth quickly at 35 mph wondering what the bike would do… it wiggled the entire bike, so I slowed down the wiggling and I notice my bike was leaning on its own without me shifting my weight at all… thats when I started to understand how easy it was to corner…

    *Beginners be warned, counter-steering is effective in turning, but don’t think that you’re superman going in turns to quickly, I had my close call swinging out too wide hitting the double yellow with a car directly in front of me. But hey, yall probably wont listen til you have your own close call… thats cause were human, we all get cocky on our bikes once and awhile.

    hahaha, im gonna start carrying marbles… lets see how those agressive drivers like the feeling of ‘no traction’ that bikers feel all the time.

    It was your fault for not predicting the worst. It was your responsibility as a biker to identify this stuff. If this sounds cruel, then TOUGH. If you can’t admit this then you shouldn’t be on a motorcycle.

    OHHH I GET IT!!!!

    What your trying to tell us, is that Cell phones have advanced so much in the past few years that one day the device itself will be able cure cancer.

    See, a normal person changes their cellphones every 2-3 years. Why not start off with a used nokia instead of buying an iphone to start out with, you’ll save more money this way when you upgrade. There’s always gonna be a new and improved model that will catch your eye. And as statistics shows, our 2nd or 3rd cellphone will probably be brand new one too.

    You guys get it?

    Good! Just remember to stop trying to use these advanced-technology cellphone to drive your car, cause for god-sake learn how to do it manually first.

    END OF RANT.

    ………..or is it….?

    at this rate, you might as well put a payment down for the 2010 model instead. by the time you get your 2009 model, the 2010s will be out :-

    Cool bike though.

    Motorcycle Tip
    Double-Take:
    Take a couple seconds before you merge into traffic to double check your entry path. Those few seconds could save your life.

    i haven’t heard a single negative comment on the wr250x on thumpertalk. I read some reviews and people seem to like it. Give the wr250x a try, see if you find it comfortable.

    ps- im sure the wr250x can hit 70mph stocked… dont worry about highway speeds.

    Motard is short for Super Motard (aka Supermoto).

    It’s a 6 speed, I have followed my friend’s klx going 70mph on the interstate. My friend says the bike gets whobblie after 65 mph. He wouldn’t recommend highway riding with the knobbies. But convert it to a motard and thats fixed. He gets better gas mileage than me too, kinda pissed about that… lol.

    I dropped my bike three times during the MSF, not on purpose of course. I had never riding any motorized bikes or anything with a clutch. Boy, I had some fun, i tellz ya.

    The one i recall was:
    Full-lock to the right and go, that one got me… I dumped the clutch then the bike lol.

    LiveVideo is down, they’re trying to update the site. I’ll post you a link of how fast a ninja 250 can go when its up and running again. It’s about a guy that motorcycle-vlogs and it’s pretty cool. There was another guy on the honda rebel that did the same thing too, I can’t seem to find it though. Maybe I’ll post both links for yall once i find that too.

    ::EDIT::
