Ahhh. I remember my first ride "around the block". Scary but fun as anything. The minute I jumped off the seat I wanted to go again.

Welcome from Phoenix!

Welcome aboard and take the MSF class! That will get your confidence up a lot quicker.

For me, the slow speed riding was the hardest to get use to on the HD. Best thing I did was go to a school parking lot and practice all of the slow turns, starting off while turning hard left or right etc.... Set up a few cones and practice until you feel comfortable.
