Yeah, WTF.... the site was up and then it was down the last day or two, as well as down for a week before that- all spouting the same SMF error message.
Anyways on topic, I've been riding my bike as well, definitely not as social a rider as Joe by getting involved in photo tag and what not, but I've definitely been riding it a lot to lvl up my riding skills.
How big's your Nighthawk? I'm sort of regretting getting a 250cc bike- while I know it was the safe/ cautious choice and was expecting to sell it in a year knowing that I bought it as a means of learning and getting comfortable riding... I'm definitely already itching to get a 600-750cc bike.
My biggest annoyance with my 250cc bike is how often I have to shift gears- the user manual's recommended speed schedule (MPH) for shifting up from 1st-6th gear goes something like 12, 19, 25, 31, 39 and shifting down from 6th-3rd gear is 28, 22, 16. So while I'm definitely getting practice learning to properly shift and use the clutch, it gets annoying real fast.
