Default My 1st time

We had a beautiful day here in NYC today. I took a ride out to Floyd Bennett Field, an old Airport (our nation first municipal airport). On my way there i was wave at by other motorcyclist for the 1st time, later was snub by a HD rider for the 1st time. Complemented on by a passer by for the first time. Went above 40mph for the first time (55mph) on an open air strip. Went on the 3 lanes, lighted portion of a Parkway for the 1st time. Got on the non lighted portion (1/2 mile) for the first time (In day light of course) and doing 45 mph. Oh yea, got cramps on both my inner thighs for the first time.

As for that HD guy who snubbed me; it is sad to see you still swears your loyalty even thou your bikes are overpriced, leak oil, get worked on more than ridden on and no longer a truly "All American made" motorcycle.

your post reminds of that movie "Rocketman" and the "first time" rant that the astronaut went into....good stuff.

Make sure you post up when you get:
1. cut off for the first time
2. run off the road for the first time
3. talked to by a dumbass who thinks he knows everything about bikes for the first time

^yeah that's a more exclusive club.

But yeah I remember that first real ride. I got waved at for the first time and felt pretty damn cool. That's before I realized that there are some dorks who ride motorcycles.

I did all the above recently too. But I also saw 3 riders in full race/track suit riding a 50cc scooter for the first time. It was cute, yet funny at the same time. And they all waved at me.
