Bought it yesterday, my first motorcycle - the Blast. I bought it on reputation. I had only ever even seen one once, that was 10 years ago. Even the lady at the DMV hadn't heard of it! I see why its called a thumper. Wow.

What do I tell people when they ask "What kind (style) of bike is it?"

Is it me or does the clutch have a short friction zone? Here I am trying to learn a bike and I squawk the rear tire, and I have stalled it a couple of times. I drove stick shift cars for 15 years and hardly ever stalled it.

The friction zone is small. Maybe mine is not adjusted correctly but it seems to operate more as an on/off switch than anything else. Good luck w/the Blast. it's a wonderful machine.
