I just get off work that day and i'm pretty tired.
I'm riding and the traffic is dying down but it's still going(it's around 7:20PM).
I wait at a red light, and it finally turns green, i'm thinking "finally this **** has been red for like 10 minutes". I take off and take a left and as i'm completeing my turn I shift into second and suddenly I notice the light ahead of me is turning yellow. I'm thinking "wtf I just waited like 20 minutes at the other lights:spank:"
So whatever, I pull up, i'm behind two cars, and next to a huge ass 18 wheeler to my right.(this is a two lane area, the bridge that comes off a highway). I'm in my left lane and I need to get in my right and I notice the truck has his left blinker on so i'm like ****.
Anywho the light turns green, I start to take off when the cars in front of me start moving.. I stall :shakehead: mind you there's a bunch of cars behind me so i'm like ****! I quickly start up my bike, and rev it up a little just to make sure I don't stall again .
I let go of my clutch and hear my rear tire screech and my front tire popped up and dropped, and I took off(god my bike picks up quick )
Turns out I was still in second gear and I didn't downshift when I came to the stop :shakehead: but now I will be more cautious. :thumbup:
Just thought I would share my noob story with all of you
