NOOB in PHX,az
Whats up all.
I finally got a real bike.....01 929 and am loving every minute of it.
I had 2 quads and rode a few dirt bikes in the past.
My buddy was getting rid of his 929 and allowed me to make payments...how seat is that.
I took some classes and did whole getting a feel for the bike in the parking lot across the street as the instructors suggested...I know, but to be honest it scareds the poo out of me for a while.
Been riding it now fro about 6 weeks every day and still have no idea how quick or how fast it will go.
Plan on getting a suit here after this season and getting out to the track.
I really want to learn how to ride proper and not figure it out on the road...got a kids and a ...well got kids. Ok iI have a loving wife. Sorry hun.
Till then I take little blasts from time to time when there aren't hardly any cars on the road. Only had it to about 120-130mph and that is pletty good for now.
Faverite ride so far is a place called Yarnell Hill, north of Wickenburg.
It is a short run up and down the hill, but my brother-and-law go up and down as many times as we are up to and the ride home.
Been in the rain now a few times and yes it does rain in Arizona.
Any one in the Phx area want to ride hit me up. Keep in mind that I am still a NOOB, but I love to ride.
We are planning a ride through Oak Creeck Canyon in a few months and then the back road to Jorome shortly after.

Hi & welcome to CBRF!
As you've found out the 929 is quite the machine....too much for a NOOBIE imho.
But you have the bike and it sounds like you repsect it enough at this point,which is a good thing.
Take baby steps and you'll get the hang of it soon enough.
Learning to ride a street bike would be a lot easier on a smaller,less powerful machine like a250/500...even a early CBR600 would even work.
Keep your wits about you and you'll do fine
BTW post some pics of your 929
Have fun & ride safe

Been riding nearly everyday; rain or shine.
Thank you for all the posts.

I have been real busy lately.
Working on getting my N/A MR2 ready to sell....Hate to get rid of it, but I have two and the wife is telling me it is time for some buget cuts.
So I am now sacrificy teh N/A to KEEP THE BIKE.....no way could my MR2 compare to joy and quikeness of the bike.
