Hey All... posted a few days ago saying Hello. \\; I am looking for a few riding friends in the Baltimore area, I live in Northern Balt. \\; I am kind of looking for a mentor and would like an experienced rider (which most are here) to provide any knowledge or instruction while we ride one on one. \\; I rode many years ago, but that was a completely different bike and honestly, not that many miles as financial circumstances forced me to sell it a few months after getting it. \\; I am 36 now and reentering this world. \\; I am scheduled to take the HD riding course in mid July, \\; around a month from now.  \\; In the meantime, would really like to comfortably get out and get some tips and pointers as well as build confidence. \\; I have ordered the Ride Like a Pro video as well. \\; I did go ahead and get my permit so I am semi legal when I ride alone \\

. \\; I do ok on my bike, but still have a hard time with slow sharp/hard turns. \\; I really need to practice this. \\; Also, would love to ride on back country roads but being fairly new to the area, I dont know them, in the least. \\; So the point, looking for a riding partner to share experience and have fun with!
I am willing to compensate for gas and meals if riding time overlaps lunch or dinner. \\; \\;
