Welcome to the forum. Ask all the questions you want, someone will have an answer. As for takin the time off, just go easy. It will all come back. I took 6 years off and got back on last year. Best thing I have done in a very long time. No regrets just a permanent grin on my face. So get on that thing and ride. [sm=biker.gif]
