Yeah it’s a 650, it’s my first bike so I don’t need to go nuts haha
Man, bringing back not so good memories for me with that pic! Used to be my day job here in AZ so I feel your pain.

That was my first personal bike's size (still have it), I'm at a similar height so I know how tough it is to get that size of motor with a bigger size frame (partly why I chose my first bike).
Rode my bro's wife's Sportster, too puny. Never rode my bro's HD cause the engine is always broke. Years ago he had a 920 Virago before he could afford the Shovel, the Yammy was a wheely machine with a passenger on the back — scared a few passengers, and occasionally myself. I used his KZR1000 with a souped up motor before I could get my own bike, and that Kawi was a scary-fast machine (the other part of why I chose my first bike).
Well, very first bike was a minibike my Dad brought home when I was knee-high to a grasshopper; it was too big for me, so my bro and Dad had to hold me up to get going and more or less catch me when I stopped. Then Mom said no more motorbikes. In our teens we "stored" a "friend's" Suzi RM125 when he upgraded his to a new race bike. I couldn't stand that thing, it was either full bore or nothing. Mom figured it out pretty quick and once again we were bikeless more or less 'til we moved out.
Good experiences and memories, and bad experiences that've become good memories.
Happy camping, hope you have lots of memorable moments, the good ones!

I love all the stories I've been hearing since even beginning to think of getting a bike. It's been on my mind for awhile but now after some life changers it's a necessity. Cheers to the good and bad!
