As soon as you quit honking your horn when you wanted to use you turn signals, take to the road and just enjoy. my .02 cents.[&:]
I have the opposite problem... I will hit my turn signal instead of the horn... very annoying. =) I thnk I am going to invent a butt clench sensor that honks the horn for you...

Good idea on the class, and I gotta say that the RIDE LIKE A PRO video is really cool. GF gave it to me, and I was a little insulted... After all, I have been riding for TWENTY YEARS... But you can never get too much good advice. And the DVD rocks.

Welcome to the world of two wheels! Hope it brings you as much fun as it has brought me, and the rest of us. There is nothing better than riding your own rig. Be careful, and have a blast..

Buy the Harley , if you live threw the first month you should be fine! LOL
Seriously, you don't hold the bike up the tires hold the bike up. Keep it balanced and it doesn't weigh anything. You should be able to feel it in you a$$. Keep it with in a couple of degrees of straight up and down by genlty moving your rear and the bars. Good luck and count your blessings, you are about to embark on the best days of your life!

Don't worry. Just practice at slow speeds in a parking lot. You might want to check out the "ride like a pro" DVD. It covers all types of slow speed driving.

Good Luck.

spartns...thanks for the info...I just ordered the DVD...
