Re: rode for the first time :)
"when in doubt twist it out" more often you will find that your brake will get you in more trouble than using the throttle. you first reaction to a scary situation will be to hit the brakes hard as you would in a car. Using the throttle to work you way out of a situation will be the best answer, becuase once your tires lock up you can call it a day. But be sure to only ease the throttle in turns or youll be eating pavement fast.
Always scan and know what is goin on around you becuase its more often the other vehicles on the road that will cause you to be in danger then your actions on the motorcycle.
last little tip for the twisties - keep your eyes where you plan to go so if you making a hard right turn look off in the distance on right and your body will take you there.
have fun.
be safe.
know your limits.
