Default Newbie from St. Louis

Howdy all, whe I say newbie, I mea newbie. Just biught my first bike, a XL1200C,2006, and just started the MSF course tonight. Only experience I have had was a Bennelli my best friend had that I road down the block and dropped it while turnig around. That was many moons ago and this purchase is kind of a late midlife crisis. Oringinally was looking at maxi-scooters and the wife said that if I was going to go that big with a scooter, I might as well get a Harley. How could I argue?
