Day IDK+1, 2,3 and 4.
So I didn't get to ride Circe for about a week and half [for what happened, refer to this thread]. Got a new front tire[ still can't believe that I had to throw away one with less than 500 kms on it]. Smooth days. Drove around the block and in the area. Everything is falling into place now.

Good things :-
1. Slowly getting used to downshifting.
2. Feeling comfortable in moderate traffic.
3. No more stalling[I'd say barely].
4. Getting better at emergency braking[better than before at least]

The not so good thing :-
1. Downshifting[ Getting used to it but in most cases I end up either getting a jerk or the engine rpm shooting through the roof].
2. Left turns at an intersection.
3. A bit busy at work so less time to ride.

That being said, I think I'll be mentally ready to ride it to work in a few days. Traffic is my only concern now but I think I should be okay.

On a side note, I'm being a complete coward about asking a girl out who passes by my workplace everyday.
