My first bike was 9 years ago, I bought a Ninja 250 and I had to have my dad bring it home in the back of the truck from the dealership cause I was to scared to ride it...LOL. For a week I rode around my sub division afraid to get out in traffic, One day I fonally did it. One month later I sold the 250 and bought a Ninja 600 then had to sell it a year later when I got divorced. 9 years later I have a '06 R6 and getting back into it
