First real ride - Perfect time at dusk

Tonight was my first real time riding my Ninja other than up and down the street. Off and on I drove from 7-9 and it was perfect. It was around 75-80 degrees outside and felt wonderful. Was a nice and peaceful ride. Getting good at using the clutch and I'm getting leaning down when going around turns.



I love my Ninja.

Nice! Dusk is always the best time to ride, just make sure to be safe too, though, as the light can change fast

Be careful. Dusk and dawn are the two most dangerous times on the day to be on the road. Not only is it hard to see but that's when al the bugs are out looking for helmets to run into.

No kidding, I hit a bug so big this evening it rocked my head to the side! I thought it was a rock at first, but not many rocks I know of have "juice" in them.

Yep, especially the four-legged ones with antlers, and the two-legged ones with four wheels.
