I was totally freaked out the first time, but a few minutes later I was like "cool". Now I try to do it to get "practice" but I never seem to get it over far enough.

SCgurl, the good news is it doesn't feel so hot when you actually go faster than 20 mph :D . Congrats on passing! :clapping: MrMarbles, I used to live in Lakeland, so I'm sure your course was a beast (depending on when you took it). I'm a little more North Central FL now (Ocala area) and that's whe...

Is that all? I figured you'd have more than that! haha The MSF course happens to be painted on a parking lot that belongs to the technical college-so, by law, it is open to the public so long as a class is not using it.

Haha, that's funny, I actually thought the VStar was very "low" weighted compared to some of the others I sat on. Of course, the one I ended up getting was lowered about 1.5" so that might have something to do with it! Try to find someone that has a trailer that you can borrow, becaus...

SCgurl, that's a nice looking helmet, similar look to my Z1R (which I hope doesn't mean mine is "girlie" looking! hehe

What kind of bike are you looking for? A small cruiser? If so, here's an alright deal on a VStar 650 in your area
