palos verdes twistie run
I took my 07 ninja for a run through the hills in Palos verdes this morning. It was my first time doing that kind of riding. Ive only been riding for maybe a month and I'm getting more comfortable. I took it very slow the first few times to get used to the roads and then I went a little faster each time. I was nervous about leaning to far. I didn't want to lay my bike down. I was very careful but had fun at the same time. I know its kinda slow and not fun for some people but I would rather be safe till I have more experience. It was a blast anyway. If anybody has any tips they could give me I would appreciate it.

I layer down my other bike a month ago at maybe 30 mph. Since then I don't lean my ninja too far. I can't get my confidence back. I'm just thankful I did on a small bike when I was going slow than going fast on a bigger bike. It's gonna take time but I'm always gonna be careful
