Glad I found this site!

Finished the Team Oregon BRT today. Had an absolute blast all weekend. I'm pretty impressed with the course overall, and even though it was mandatory (At 30 yrs old I fall under the cut off for the new state law), I would have taken it even if it was optional. A lot of the stuff I've read, both on the internet, and in the "Proficient Motorcycling" books wound up making perfect sense once putting them into practical application in a controlled environment. Passed the testing with flying colors (which of course by no means makes me an expert), and now once I can afford to buy a bike- I can start my new hobby. The training area is less than a mile from my house, and the course lines are painted on and there year round. I plan on going back to that area and using it as much as I can when I finally buy a bike and get ready to hit the highways (location is at the local fairgrounds).

Anywho, it's time to get back to watching craigslist like a hawk..... Hoping another Shadow or Virago comes up in my price range....

(Taking the course did rule out the Yamaha TW200 Enduro as an option.. jeeze what an uncomfortable bike....)
