jesus, give the kid a fuckin break.
i don’t know about any meets, i just want to say be safe and wear your gear. being new to riding and getting a 750 may not be the best idea, but it can work if you respect the machine.
be careful man :tup:

So you started on a chromed and stretched 900 and now you’re in a 750. Hrmmm…
I recommend the MSF safety course for beginner riders. I rode a 250 for a year before I took the course and I can honestly say it was the best decision I make in regard to riding.
After the course invest in some proper gear and ride! Be careful out there.

The motorcycle crew on this site is non-existent for the most part, either they don’t post or have moved to other forums.

Exactly. Just be careful with the throttle and you will be fine.
