Default First time in traffic!!

Took the bike out today in the real world (traffic) for the very first time. Wow, I am now officially hooked! Freakin' AWESOME!!! Feels so damn good just riding down the road, wind blowin by, yeah!!!
Also had my first 2 biker waves, excited about that too, LOL

I was quite nervous, and still was when I finished, but definitely feels good to finally get out there on the road and out of the parking lot.
I had my first MSF class last night, and will have the first riding class on Saturday. Can't wait for that too!

Planning on getting some more real world time in tomorrow just to get more comfortable and to try to be prepared for class on Saturday. I think I'll do ok, I know the first class is kind of basic stuff which I hope I have down by now. I'll keep practicing though!

Cool, man! Takes me back a bit.

And I wouldn't worry about the MSF at all. I know people who have never even been on a bike who have done fine in that class. Just have fun with it and learn what you can.

Thanks guys! It's definitely a rush and I'm loving it! Had my first riding part of the MSF course today. Definitely helps to take that course. Can't wait to finish it next week.
