Interesting to see that many of us new-riders are ...more mature than one might think. It is great to hear the stories of other newbies (and oldies.) I will be taking MSF tomorrow. A little nervous but can't wait.

you'll do great. Keep us updated and send us pics when you get your bike, unless you have it already.

You'll do fine in class. Just enjoy. Let us know how it all goes for you.

Cheers,
Loonette

Thanks for the support! I love this forum! Hope to be able to post a pic of my wheels soon. I'll be busy this weekend at MSF so y'all have a great weekend !

Good luck and have fun! Look forward to pics when things get settled.

Thank you for saying we "are on the hill"!! I don't lie about my age, but I will not ever be "over" the hill! Friends have talked about how old we will be and "still" riding. 75?

Me too...on the hill...

2 years ago I had never ridden...2 weeks ago I rode a few thousand miles for my vacation.

I'm already planning next year's road trip.

So for all the naysayers....

ok, so that wasn't very mature, but we gotta be childish sometimes.

Welcome to the forum, so how did the class go?

Not sure if you posted about it on a seprate thread...i've been away for a few days.

I passed the MSF. A great class. Would highly recommend to ALL. As a newbie, it was a great start for me. I have a few friends that were willing to "teach me" but I didn't want to learn bad habits so I opted for the class.
I just missed passing the test the first time and had to go back to retest. Due to weather and scheduling issues, I had to wait two weeks to retest. I just got my license this past weekend.
Now I am working on getting my bike straight. It has a turn signal issue and I found that I need a new fuel petcock. Then I get to deal with MVA.

Congrats on completeing MSF. You get on the road in no time, though it seems like f-o-r-e-v-e-r.
