I am addicted
Well just as I passed my test and got my helmet and gloves the weather has been amazing. I've gone out numerous times and I'm itchin to go out again. I get so many comments on it opposed to when i had my Camaro, Same with girls taking notice as well as asking for rides.
Even with gas prices high its still ridiculously cheap to have fun for a whole day.
I've got the bug

Amazing Weather
I hear ya! The weather this past season has been amazing. I pretty much rode thru the winter, as opposed to last year parking it in November and taking it back out in March.
If I may - I know NJ is a large area but being a "newer" rider I might suggest taking it slow, especially with passengers. A lot of the congested areas here just don't offer any margin of safety for a less experienced rider. While it's nice to have a honey hanging on, 2 up is a learned experience. If you haven't taken a MSF course or similar, it is a really good idea to.
In the meen time, I'll see ya on the roads. I'll be the one waving at ya!

Yeah I've been hanging around town on the country roads, on the busier ones as well. I've gone on route 18 North before it ends just to get the highway feel, and of course i had to go through Rutgers/New Brunswick.
And I'm already signed up for the course, its not until May though.
Tell me about it, gear, insurance and the course already ate my tax return

Welcome to riding - it's a great pasttime you're sure to enjoy. Glad to hear you've signed up for a rider's course. That's the best thing you can do to protect your hide. Ride like you're invisible to all other drivers (you are) and remember that in a fight with even the smallest Smart4Two you'll lose.
No offense, but I have to mention that I thought you were a chick from your screenname - Deb On Air. Sorry.
