new girl from Cleveland
Hi everyone!I'm new to motorcycles..been around people that have them..and now its finally my turn...
Stuff about me... my name is Laura
age:22 (jan 28th)
status: i'm a full time college seniorand paying for my own way thru
pets: a black toy poodle (very hyper)
activities i like: jet skiing, camping, ice skating, fencing,
favorite movie(s): anything funny or romantic.. i guess the notebook is my fave (i'm a girl what did u expect?)
music: almost everything
fave food: pasta , chocolate
I enrolled in the basic rider course ,now i'm browsing for bikes..
I like the ninja 250, i went in to a dealer to "test" it (basically just sit on it haha). I was kinda worried that I won't be able to ride b/c the motorcycle seems to big 4 me. I'm 5"5 and 115lb, i know how to ride a bike..but i'm just afraid i won't be able to balance when it comes to a motorcycle

Oh by the way I watched the Notebook.....twice and cried my eyes out both times, I'm not afraid to admit it. But then again I almost cry every time I see that humane society dog commercial with Sara McLaughlin singing in the back ground. Sheesh.[&:]

Deej...[&:] Ahhh, whatever.
Anywho, Welcome again also. I'm sure a 250 won't be too big for you. It can always be lowered if it is.
Hope you stick around and enjoy our strange community of riders.[8D]

i love these clowns..lol
welcome to KF laura!!
good to have ya.
oh.. as far as balacing the bike whilst moving, you have physics on your side!! (it's called angular momentum..
)
the gyroscopic force from your rotating mass (wheels) will keep you from falling.
and you'll have absolutely NO problem on keeping the machine up when at a light. i've seen tiny ppl hold overized bikes up with no problem. you'll do fine!!
