aw hell i'm happy for ya ...... i'm just jellious because my carbs are apart trying to chase jet problems and it was 60 here today

That weather-report post was from class. I just got home.
That class sucked a$$!!
Here's the online evaluation I submitted about the class...
Instructor is a nice person, but she doesn't have the ability to hold the classes attention. It seems like she tries to teach students on how to work together more than teach the material at hand.
The class is very unorganized. Valuable tools are provided for use, but the instructor doesn't effectively use them (ie: WebCT). Homework, quizes, and projects and not graded and handed back to students on a timely manner for future usage.
Her knowledge of the subject is impeccable, but her ability to explain the concepts to students lack experience. It seems like this is her first year teaching, even though she has been teaching at other colleges in the past. Sometimes, we as students find ourselves looking for explainations within our own group.
Overall, the concepts I've learned have not come directly from her. It would have been more beneficial for me (and others) to buy the book, and start reading.
I feel that this has been a waste of $480. The first day of class, the instructor took attendance, explained the syllabus, and let us leave. We spent about 15 minutes in class total that day.
ANYWAY....
I got home with 57 miles on the tripodometer that I set.... WOOT!!!
Hopefully, it's still nice tomorrow. :thumb:
WHAT class!? Did I miss something? :flipoff: :laugh:
Microeconomics.
Worst teacher I've EVER had.
Not because I didn't like the subject, but because of HER.
That sucks (what grade are you getting? :laugh:)

Should I be proud of you? I took a crap today!
I took a crap today too...
I'm not sure what grade I'm getting. Tonight was the last night of the last. Do you know what that means???
I won't see the three hot girls in the class anymore... :cry:

ass
:laugh:
so how is it......the r6 i mean
AWESOME!
A little nervous making slow turns, because the stock clipons come soooooooo close to the tank. But I think that's because of my method.
Also, for some reason, I *think* the R6 is a little easier in the turns??? I'm not positive yet... It might just be the fact that I can finally ride her.
But I will say this.... The GS is DEFINITELY more forgiving. You make a mistake on the GS, you're still up. You make a mistake on a bike like the R6, you can feel something different in how the bike handles or rides.
The GS is 100% a fantastic starter bike and commuter.

A big +1 on this. I found out VERY quickly how much more forgiving the GS is over the SVS, and I imagine the SVS is a heckuva lot more forgiving than the R6! :thumb: I"m glad to hear you're taking your time getting to know your new baby! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
I'm gently carressing her into letting me have my fun with her... You know... The kind of fun that illegal in all 50 states.
:laugh:
It's good practice for ya'! :thumb: :laugh:
In the last two days, when I wasn't working or being in class at night, I've riden the R6 for a grand total of 74.7 miles.
WOO HOO!!!
You animal!! :icon_twisted: :laugh: :thumb:
I think im having the same unsolvable problem as you An.
When your just setting off and say you've had to back it out of the garage or whatever you have it on full lock and your trying to urge it to the street? You can't get your hand around the grip and you find yourself twisting the throttle with just ur 4 fingers and keeping your thumb out the way?
Yea, if thats what trouble your having, i havn't found a solution yet. LOL
Sports bikes also feel like they wana fall over in slow speed manovering. And doing a U turn in the road is a no no without putting your feet down.

Exactly... to everything... I can't do a u-turn AT ALL. :mad: :laugh:
I don't find that the bike wants to fall over in low speed turns... I find that it wants to straighten up... :dunno_white: I feel that I have to push even harder to get it to turn... Of course, this could be the wider tire... 180 I think?!?!?
with more practice you can do U-turns just fine on a sport bike without putting your foot down. You just have to lean it over a bit more and work the clutch more. The R6 should feel heavier to turn or like it wants to straighten up probably due to the rear tire.
kasumi-maybe yours feels like it wants to fall in because either a) your tires are squared off a bit and will feel like they're falling in when they come across the squared edge, or b) your tire profile is very pointy. The Pilot Power tires are very pointy-good for the track.
I have a brand new set of tyres less than a thousand miles at the moment. Dunlap Sportmax D208's they are extremely grippy as they are almost track type, Ultimate high peformance street in their range or summin, however they don't last long at all. Next time i change tyre i will probably go to some Metzlers or Pirellis' just to try. I think after what An said my slow speeding feeling like its going to fall over is like An said its hard to make it lean in so its upright more and more wobbly. I really want to get into an open space and just practice doing tight U turns and slow speeds stuff but theres no where around here to do it and i don't wana drop the bike hehe.

This is how I feel about practicing u-turns.
