So on a comfort level scale of 1 to 10, 10 being super-pro-max-comfort-guy and 1 being scared s-less, I have slowly but surely moved from 1 to about a 1.7 while riding the Ninjette.
I even rode a short distance in the rain one day! It is wet and cold here a lot now, so all my trips have been ridiculously short (I don't have 100 miles on the bike yet
) It is a good excuse to not get in over my head on some big long highway trip, which is more than fine with me at this point.
I feel good about taking it easy and just slowly getting used to using the brakes, clutch, shifter and handle bars relatively correctly. Not expertly, mind you.
