You mean you can't be a novice T/D rider and jut skip everything to get a race license ? 🤷‍♂️ Lame!!!

Welcome! Sweet bike. Don't let Pauly buy it back - He'll be having seller's remorse anytime now... You should also check out the great info on the FZ6 at 600riders.com

Damn straight we are trading bikes a few times this summer.

Maintain. If you don't the rear could hook back up too soon and you may high side. If you roll off it has to be extreamly gradual. Better not to. Keep your body wherever it is. If you are leaning off stay there, and be lose on the bike. Let it find its own way. It is smarter than you are. Avoid counter steering too, the natural track of the bike is already counter steering. If you add any it is too much. Everyone should start or do some time in the dirt to learn what it feels like.

Yeah, with the ice and snow we have today, looks like Sunday may be a better day for a ride. Should have time for traffic to push most of the nasty off the road from today and tomorrow. Thank you for the heads up on the possible nasty spots @Shoop. @2talltim, I ride a 1290SAR with heavily worn 50/50 tires currently, there will be no "spirited riding" until I get a set of new tires on the bike. This is planned as an exploring trip, not a go fast trip. Thank you for the warning though.

I do believe the answer to market oversaturation of college graduates is free college for everyone.

Slow your roll youngster. There will be a good time to hit the Nickle mid season. Early in the year isn't it. Its dirty, slick, water seepage and just a mess. Ease into the season. Do some local roads your familiar with and knock the cob webs off. Seen plenty over enthusiastic folk go out too early on the twisties and get burnt.
