Welcome to the Forum Gary and thanks for sharing your story. I didn't discover street bikes until just over 3 years ago and it's changed my life - all for the better of course. It's my passion and the greatest thing i've ever experienced. The thrills and fun of riding are beyond description.

Now a motorcycle is my primary transportation year around and I almost never drive a 4-wheeled vehicle unless forced to by nasty weather or having to haul something too big to fit on the bike.

Congrats. Sorry you had to wait so long. You'll get face cramps for the first month smiling as you ride.
