Thanks! I have officially 30 miles under my belt and loving the Magna Last night my first time on a 45 mph road and it wasnt to bad. My instructor told me after the class that I should get out to the country roads here and go cruise and have fun and build that experience that I learned in class. He thought the Magna was a perfect bike for me to start on especially after him seeing me on the course for 2 days. The biggest thing my first day was to look where I am going I am getting it down pretty well now after last night. The BRC was the BEST thing I have done in a while and am totally enjoying every minute of it.

Good luck.

Good deal. For awhile though I'd stick to a parking lot until quick stops, swerves and all your controls become second nature. Also still be careful of that magna. Alot of people including instructors overlook that it's a v4

Definatly will do. I have been riding with my friend and he has a "agenda" for me to get used to everything. I am taking baby steps and see the improvments already. I also want to let you know a little about myself. My name is John, I am 41, a single father of 2. I am 6' 250 pounds with a 31 in. inseam. My friend is the one that got me into riding and thank him tons for that. The first day my friend took me around the neighborhood to get aquainted with stops, starts and turns at slow speeds. He told me he wanted me to get a feel of the bike and get used to the controls, so on... If the weather holds up this weekend, we are going to do some PLP with the quick stops, swerves, etc so I can get the feel of that as well.
