oh wow, i thought it was normal. I read a bunch of things on false neutrals and figured is just a bike thing. Thanx ill try to do that

If you have a local riding school ask them about a couple of lessons to build your riding skills. Having experienced professionals teach you the ropes will be worth 100 posts here
Ill look into it, they have intermediate training courses around here, but ill be honest, this forum has helped me with many of my problems. Having fellow riders advise a noob is priceless.
