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.[&:]

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..
