Default Busted my cherry today
Went out for my first road ride ever today. Other than the crease on the seat and the grin on my face there was no permanent damage. I've had the bike since July (bought it used with 970 miles) but didn't get my endorsement until Oct and just got the 1k service and state inspection today. You know how I feel? Like I just found the last piece of the puzzle.
