My first ride - woohoo!

#1 Unread post by rubthebuddha »

So I finished the first day of the MSF yesterday and felt confident enough to take my new bike for a ride this morning. Rode a little around town and got some gas then tooled around my neighborhood. Practiced stopping, starting, a lot of slow speed turns, and successfuly dodged a cat carcass that was in my path. Then I hit several miles of open road and got the speedo up to about 60. Holy s---! That was a blast! I'm so hooked!

Hell , after 47 years I still get that feeling every morning when I fire it up and get in the wind .
Kind regards, Wizzard :wink:
