I took the MSF course and it knocked all the scared right out of me.

yanno??? a little scared CAN be a good thing.... or at least a healthy respect for the machine, and the road.... as well as the fact that everyone is out to kill you... that includes cars, trucks, and other motorcycles.... EVERYONE

It's just a start... Practice every chance you can. next year? that the experienced rider course, same skills are taught as the beginer class... but in one day, and on your bike..

Ride safe... ride often

Well that's one of the goodpoints ofselling bikes........seeing how excited the new riders get(you ride too long and you tend to forget that everybody was a newbie at some point). Enjoy the bike DW, take your time out on the road, watch "Everything" and keep smilin'.

Keep your eyes open, and your mouth shut (bugs don't taste good). But keep the grin!

Safety, safety, safety. Take the ERC next year. And as soon as you get comfortable and think everything is okay - TROUBLE!

Enjoy the ride, the fun truly never ends.
