hot bike!
~ congrats, and welcome to the board-
very smart to take the class before riding. i know its tough to see the bike in your garage and not ride it... but that is absolutely the right thing to do. you will have plenty of great riding time once you have the background.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the 48.

Glad to hear that you are taking the MSF class. And, just in case you can't wait until then, ride safe. IMO, full gear, every ride.

Nothing like having something to drool over before you take your course. It'll be worth the wait. Welcome!
