Default Had my 1st proper ride on a bike last night

Mate has got a Honda VFR 800 Vtec as a courtesy bike and he popped over to say hello on it last nite. Brought a spare lid with him so he could take me out on it. Not been on a big bike before, so was a little nervous. Pulls hard expecially after 7k when it really opens up.

Then he pulls over and says your turn

Bear in mind that i have never ridden anything over a 125 and havent even passed my CBT, and i was going to have a passenger.

Rode for about a mile without any probs. 60 mph feels very quick on 2 wheels and the acceleration is impressive to say the least.

Just thought i would share this with you, because i am quite proud of myself at actually not falling off, crashing, stalling or locking up the front or back wheel
