Joey, how does this compare to riding a dirtbike lol. I know you have a lot of experience with those. Do certain concepts pass from dirt to tarmac or is it a completely different animal? ---

You don’t have a choice or riding within your abilities when you’re put into a panic situation and are forced to make moves regarding of you having the skills to pull them off or not. Been there, done that, and no not regarding any incident I’ve ever had, going back to the first year of my riding. ---

Very nice pick up my friend had one for his first bike and let the power get the better of him and it wound up in pieces on wolf road. I sincerely hope this doesn’t happen to you. Just remember always respect the machine and ride within your limits. I would also suggest a basic riding class. I took mine last summer even after a season and a half and about 6k miles of ridding and still learned some good pointers. Just my 2 cents and once again very nice machine. ---
