Okay, go Banjo Dude. I still recommend taking the MSF course at your local community college.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Welcome to TMW...

Yes, definitely take the MSF course offered in your area, BEFORE any bad habits get developed.... You'll thank us all for that suggestion...
