I slow down even when I think that the car/truck might decide to pull a fast one on me.
I just take it easy when the asshats that ride my butt... It just makes it a little uncomfortable sometimes with how much room people leave.
I am taking a MSF Basic Rider course in less than 5 weeks... I just wanted solid ground before doing it.
Even though I got a crotch rocket, I don't treat it as one might think. I just ride it like I would any other bike, yet it is nice to know the power is there when I need it.

Well, my friend and I went out for a little ride on our motorcycles. Needless to say, I'm quite impressed and satisfied over my latest purchase of a motorcycle, namely a Ninja 250R. It's a great little bike for starting out or just for a daily commuter.
I thought it was going to be hard, but it's actually quite easy and very enjoyable.
The only thing I hated was my friend and I got tailgated by some morons a few times. They have no clue how fast us bikers can stop.... but for the most part, people were ok.
I just can't believe how such a small engine can bring this bike to life. It's amazing.
Tomorrow we are going out again, and hopefully try for 100 miles or so of easy riding.
