Thanks for the words of encouragement
I'm thinking Christmas is right around the corner and it would be a most excellent gift for myself hehe.
Christos, I have to say that learning to ride motorcycles was one of the best and most nerve-racking thing I've ever done. I was so nervous about how I would do and how well I would ride when I first started. I took the Motorcycle Safety course and it helped immensely. Taught me all the low speed manuevering necessary to keep myself upright when not cruising. I highly recommend it.
