That is nothing ;) It gets better my dad was so understanding when we went for a ride last night. I followed him for 15 minutes or so and then he followed me on the way back. Not one negative comment ;) Nothing but kind words :)
Then when we got back he was eying my classic, lol. So I said GO, try it out.
So he did and said "I can't beleive I rode that to South Carolina"! He had a BMW and now and of course you can't compare a 2000 Beemer to a 1981 LTD!

He noticed that my clutch was really hard so we free the rust up with oil, haha. Poor thing was probably never oiled. The throttle is cable is next on the todo list.

Then he followed me home just to get out of the house and we rode side by side ;) Maverick and Goose forever :)

Thanks sapaul for all you good advice. Far as stalling in first I have overcome that ;) Problem was I was to skiddish and was to afraid to give it a little gas. Guess that will be a good thing when I move up to a bigger bike :)
Thearpy is a waste of money! Save you head, get a bike instead :)

You are more than welcome.
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R
