[QUOTE="4EverOrange, post: 739865, member: 40164"] Hahah, I'm in the exact same position. New boyfriend assumes that because he's a guy he's going to just naturally be a better rider than. He made this, very stupid, comment after a couple of drinks. Ever since then I've been trying to explain to him that chances are pretty good he may be faster, but in the end I will be in front because I don't fall. It happens with every mediocre guy rider I know. They think riding is 90% balls and 10% skill. When in fact it's more of a 50/50 ratio. Lucky for me, I got him yesterday. We were out at my parents, who have a track in their backyard. I did 4 or 5 laps, with not incident, then handed the bike to him. I warned him that the 200 isn't the typical 'chic' bike and to be careful with the throttle. Of course he didn't listen. Dad and I watched him, giggling to each other, tryng to get a feel for the bike and it's responsiveness. Everytime going from a little throttle to full throttle, a couple of times getting the front tire up off the ground. Finally he ventured onto the track. I called it 5 seconds before he flipped the bike. He tried to jump, landed flat, fell back on the bike, and grabbed a whole handful of throttle. The bike flew out of his hands, and did a complete backflip. Lukcy for me it didn't hit anything before landing on it's tires, cause nothing broke. Anyways, after having a good chuckle, I finally walked onto the track. His pride was damaged, as it should be, and he finally gave me the credit I deserve. BTW - The chic bike comment was a response to something he said aobut my bike being a chic bike. (Of course he knows nohting about KTM's.) [/QUOTE]
