Default Hello to all!

Hi all,

Let me introduce myself. I'm down in the swampy heat of S. Lousiana. DH and I have just brought a pair (not matching!) of 2005 sporties. Somewhere in between a lifelong passion to ride and saving gas finally convinced him . I'm not *exactly* new to riding, although I'm not sure that my riding a 50cc scooter (and I mean scooter [8D]) 15 years ago, actually counts. DH used to ride a dirt bike, also many eons ago.
Thankfully our MSF course is in about 10 days!

Eva

I'm writing from Albany NY. My ride is a 2006 street bob. I am fairly new to riding so any tips will be helpful. Riding time is pretty short in this neck of the woods, so i need to get my break in miles on soon, before it starts snowing!!
