FNG here

#1 Unread post by Guardian »

Hi all I just decided to get back into riding again after a few years of not. I had been riding for 3 month back in 2001 and had a nasty bunch of wrecks of other riders around me that were almost completely unavoidable that scared me away from the hobby for a few years.

Well, obviously didn't scare you off completely.

Welcome back to motorcycling.

Nope less than a decade! 2 of the 3 involved animals commiting suicide at night both I had to swerve several times to avoid the animal ( or pieces of ) the bike and the rider not always in that order. All in all I leard from those wrecks and am ready to apply them to the street.

Western Washington....I have been through there a few times. Mostly to Seattle and back...but also to Olympia and down the coast to Oregon.

It's crazy getting through the Saettle area, but once past Tacoma it calms down a bit and is quite pleasant through Washington.
Similar to here.

Guardian,

Welcome back and hope you are able to overcome that very legitimate concern/fear. It'll be worth it.
