Default nightster-first ride....ever

So after sitting in my garage for about 3 weeks just eye balling me, i finally got to take my texas motorcycle saftey course to get my license and insurance. So this morning i went to the DPS and got my license. I rushed home threw on the helmet started her up and just cruised around town for like an hour. It was just the greatest feeling ever. I absolutely love this bike. Not to mention cause the bikes in the class i took sucked wind.

But man oh man it was just awesome in its purest form. I loved every second of it. Im pretty sure my truck is never gunna get driven anymore.

That's a great feeling isn't it? Congrats on the new bike and I hope you have many more miles of fun. Let me guess, you have a 2008 GT500KR? Keep the rubber side down and best wishes.

Ahhhh, I can't wait to ride mine! I passed my permit on Friday, dropped papers of to the insurance company today and should have my plates tomorrow.
Then I'm off to get a helmet, tool bag, and....... back home to ride.

yea my 3 weeks felt like 3 months. And it was just sitting there in the corner of the garage all lonely next to my dads denim black street bob. But damn it was worth the wait. Before this all i had ridden was dirt bikes on trails and stuff, usually less than 30 mph. So man it was great. I dont think ive met anyone who hasnt enjoyed riding.
