I have been riding dirt bikes all my life but finally made the switch to the street. I am very comfortable cruising around the city, speeds upto 55mph are awesome and a lot of fun. I ventured out onto the freeway today and was scared SH**LESS!

The wind felt super intense, the little "rain grooves" made me feel like the bike was wobbling all over the place, i had a death grip on the handle bars and was terrified of looking over my shoulder. Soooo i got off after 2 miles which was the first exit possible. Since i have rode dirtbikes that jump and bounce all along the track i really was surprised at how scared and novice i felt

!

Any tips on becoming more comfortable with freeway riding on the ninja 250?
