Motorcycle Safety Course, here I come; all leathered up to the gills.
Safety course is a fer sure and don't let anyone or any situation rush you.
The hardest part for a newbe is not getting frustrated with yourself or the machine.
Be prepared for friends asking if they can 'try it out'......it will happen.
As much as you want to 'be a buddy' resist the urge to say OK.
I have seen many good friendships lost to letting someone try out 'and crash' a buddys new bike.
Just politely say something along the lines of 'maybe sometime in the future'......good friends will get the hint.
Not unlike loaning your expensive tools......they rarely come back without some 'I'm really sorry' story of some sort.
I look forward to reading your post purchass posts!
