I finally got it!!!
Picked up my Vivid Black 07 SG yesterday (Friday the 13th[:@]), and I couldn’t be happier
. For those who don’t know me Id never ridden a motorcycle before last month when I took the MSF course. When I picked it up I had a 60 mile ride home from Orange County to Moreno Valley in rush hour Los Angeles traffic.
I’ll tell you this it was probably the most exhilarating experience of my life. I rode about 15-20 miles still stuck in a cagers mindset (
I get to call them cagers now!) I actually stopped behind cars in traffic put my feet down and everything. Then a couple of crouch rockets zipped by and I remembered, lane splitting is legal here in California!
Needless to say the rest of my ride was a blast. I don’t see want took me so long to start riding. I regret that I’ve missed out on a lot of fun for a lot of years. By the way I know [sm=ttiwwp.gif] I'll get em up as soon as I get home from work[:'(]

Did you make it home? If you made it to work in that LA rush hour traffic you should be ok. However Friday 13 + Black= [sm=lildevil.gif] Well are you home yet? Where's them pictures?

Yep a whole lot of reading and research on this forum thanks HDF! I would have been lost without this forum. Oh yeah most of the post are from the games forum because without a bike i couldnt contribute much infomation, but I did ask alot of questions.

Congrats!
You are a brave soul picking rush hour traffic for your first ride. After 6000 miles on my new bike I'm still a might skittish around the cagers. I probably always will be.
Looking forward to seeing the pics of the new baby. BTW order the "Ride like a pro DVD", watch it, and then practice. It has really helped me.
