Howdy from Idaho

#1 Unread post by chri5917 »

Hello, all.
I've posted a message at the New Biker's area but thought I'd introduce myself better here.
Just got myself a 1983 Honda Ascot FT500. Signed up for my class to start in June. I'll admit that I've been cheating a little bit (legally, of course) and goin' on a couple of short rides. Wow, have I got it bad! :lol:
Anyhow, If there's anyone near the Boise area who'd want to go on some short rides with a beginner, I'm looking for the best roads.
Thanks for all the help I've already gotten from everyone here.

Hi Chris,

Welcome to the boards! :welcome:

I am so glad to hear you are taking the course. Do yourself a favour and try not to ride too much before your course because you don't want to start with bad habits. The course will teach you how to do everything right (in the safety sense).

Be careful in your starting years, but most of all HAVE FUN!

Andrea :)

Hi Chris welcome aboard. Maybe after you do some exploring around your area you can let me know as one day I plan on travelling in and around your state. Be happy to hear about any nice rides you go on.

Thanks,

Randy
