So I got a cbr250r, never had a motorcycle before, never rode a motorcycle before
I have about 200miles on it. I wear a helmet, jacket, riding pants, gloves, boots. I ride slow on the driveway on sundays
... Seriously though, I stay out of traffic, and dont push my limits. I've had some instruction from more experienced folks. I "have a bell on my motorcycle"- whatever that means. I like riding the bike. Its pretty fun.
My friends look at me funny, like that is so unlike you, or like you're going to kill yourself.
No one says, cool man, good for you.
Mom and dad certainly discouraged motorcycle riding growing up... but that was a long time ago (like 30 years ago).
Is this really that dangerous. Am I going to kill myself? Doesn't a bit of good sense and a whopping amount of defensive driving offer some modicum of saftey? I mean, I fly airplanes, how much more dangerous could this possibly be if risks are properly managed?
