Way to go! My first motorcycle training was on a 74cc Indian dirt bike when I was about 8 and went something like this, "Squeeze that, twist that, let go of that and hang on.". Those were the happiest ten feet of my young life. However, the next ten feet bouncing along behind the bike weren't so good. Your way seems to be working much better!

Sweet! Day 3 is gonna do it for ya, I just know it. Off onto the highways and byways of OH and PA for weeks on end. Are you hooked yet? Can't stand to turn it off? And when you work up the courage to do it, you still sit there thinking, "man o man, now THIS is the stuff! Where have you been all my life?" Yup, that's how we all started, one small victory at a time. From 8 to 80, everyone's been reeled in. Congrats, and ride safe!
