Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Tomorrow is riding day after 25 years of absence on a bike. This should be fun!

Day one of riding was an interesting one! I can't explain how important keeping your eyes up and head in the direction you want to travel was. I kept getting hit on that, but I had fun, I didn't drop the bike, but a couple of us put our foots down by accident, but hey it was a learning exercise. That, and getting into neutral on this particular Yamaha Star was tricky.

Bring on day two!
