Just a little rant to get it off my chest.
Was at Dinner with my sister and her friends. One of the friends arrives late (girl and guy) and so they sat down and starting talking the usual etc. Apparently the girl and her boyfriend are taking their MSF course. The girl said she had trouble with the clutch because it was "stiff" and so she stalled out about 5 times and couldn't get it. Instructor told her she can go home for the day.
My sister suggested that she come over one of these days and practice on her bike and she asked what bike my sister has. My sister still being new (about 4 months of riding on and off) told her she has a Ninja 250R, and she responded with, "oh... the b*tch bike" of course my sister gets offended but doesn't show it. I'm a little offended by this too.
So later on after dinner I asked her about it and she said yeah, she hopped on her friend's R1 and took a picture on it with the caption "R1, this is going to be my first bike!" and so I eased her anger a little by saying at least you have a bike to ride, she won't know what she's doing nor how to control that power. More cc's you go up the less reaction time you have. I want my sister to stay on the 250R a little bit longer before she upgrades and let me tell you she's been dying to upgrade, though she agrees that it was a really good idea to start on the 250.
