First Ride

#1 Unread post by canukkidd »

A friend and I took the MSF course this pass weekend, we both passed, and then on Wednesday we got our licence.
Hit the road around 1 pm got home at around 9pm, around 175 miles, AND WE HAD A BLAST!!!!
Cant believe we waited until we were FORTY to do this.

Now, if it would only get warmer.

You're still young. There's a 92 year old man here in LA who rollerblades.

If he can rollerblade at 92, you can easily have another 50 years of motorcycling ahead of you.
[b]Are you a beginner rider?
Have a lot of questions about motorcycling?
Not sure what bike to start with?

I'm a 36 year-old newbie. That's not too far off from you two. Congratulations and have a blast! :motorcycle5:

Congratulations and enjoy the riding. It's great to have someone else to ride with too. And yeah, I'm sure it's gotta warm up sometime in this northern hemisphere... Sounds like you had a great time :mrgreen:
Ya right, :wink: there are only 2 kinds of bikes: It's a Ninja... look that one's a Harley... oh there's a Ninja... Harley...Ninja...
