Finished my MSF this past weekend and got my license on Tuesday. And now I finally got the nerve to go faster than 30 mph today... can't believe how fast 30mph feels when you don't have a steel cage around you.
I may even try to go on the actual road tomorrow!

That first semi was a little disconcerting.

Congrats, I was doing 35mph in a parking lot after riding it for a few minutes. I took it up a 2 lane later that day and got to 45mph, and it felt like I was flying. I was quite nervous. Two days later I got it up to 60 on a 2 lane hwy. I know what you mean, now when I get in my car it feels like I am going real slow.

Semis make me very nervous. Cage, bike, unicycle... hate them things.

Rain with wind gusts will be fun.
So will those bugs that Really Hurt (in the neck/throat) going 120 kph.
Have fun though and stay safe!

bugs hurt! got one across the knuckles today, must have been a huge one.
Take your time and only go as fast as you feel confortable with, you'll get there eventually
Good luck!
