Hello, kckc.
You just passed the toughest hurdle in riding bikes...The slow maneuvers...once you are comfortable there, it's all down-hill from there.
I gave up my Calif. license for a WV CDL, and I haven't taken the riding test for many years. I have taken a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course since then. (still many years ago). In my opinion, the rider course is the
BEST investment you can make in your riding career.
Just remember to use good judgment concerning protective equipment and sobriety, and ask questions if it will add to your riding skills! 8)
Say hello in the introductions forum, and I'm sure you will get a few more hellos
Welcome aboard,
