Chris/Bob,
Had the time of my life today at the MSF class. You can't describe the thrill you get riding a motorcycle. And I only got up to 15 mph! LOL
They tried to put me on a CBR125. I looked at that thing and said "Dude, look at me and look at that piece of junk. Put me on something a little bigger!" He obliged and let me ride a Suzuki 250 (GZR?). Too small for me, by a long shot, but it worked. My body and legs are just too long/big for such a small machine.
So I went over to my uncle's house and told them to give me a real ride. They have a 2002 GoldWing and a 1998 Valkyrie. The roll-on acceleration on the Valk and GW are just amazing.
I couldn't wipe the grin off my face when I rode either one.
If I can pass my class tomorrow (I did pretty good for a computer geek) I'll have me a bike ready for next weekend, without question. I'm in between a Valk and Goldwing. Strongly leaning Goldwing at the moment.
