    I always said I would never do it - then I did.
    Best part of 20 years away from bikes (but always dreaming) then got myself a little toy to keep myself amused.

    welcome in hope you enjoy the forum and riding again
    If you have not been on the road for 20yrs on a bike maybe a refresher course or just ride with someone experienced for a hour or two

    I thought about that, but you know what? It turns out it's just like riding a bike!

    I have been, it's not like I've gone and bought a high power crotch rocket.
    The front end does go a little light if you push it away from the lights though...

    Private Pyle, you are definitely born-again hard.
    Hell, I may even allow you to serve as a rifleman in my beloved Corps.
    Full Metal Jacket (1987) One of the best films EVER.

    Now if you'll excuse me, its time for my meds and afternoon sleep.
