Total Motorcycle Community Forums

hi everyone, i just signed up with the forum today after looking to read about other people that have the same jitters as i do, lol. I'm a new rider, i took the MSF course back in October, but now the weather is finally nice enough to start learning.

I haven't made it to the road yet but I've been riding around my neighborhood when i work up the balls to do it



so other then that, I'm riding a 97 Honda shadow vlx which i love and its perfect for me, so hopefully soon as i get more comfortable I'll be out on the open road!!

I hope you enjoy the site.

Once you get a bit more experience, your nerves will calm down.

Welcome to the board. Practice, practice and more practice. Confidence will grow and you will enjoy your ride even more.

Good luck!

Welcome aboard. You just gotta get out there and do it. Probably scare the pants off you first time, don't let it get to you. You'll face what you think is almost certain death and come through it just fine - at least that's what it felt like to me.
