That's a very good idea. I'll definitely do that. I think a big part of the problem I had was that I was not concentrating on riding but on other things.

good point! I've had the MSF class and was actually hoping it would be raining then, because I've heard that if you take the basic rider course in the rain it helps teach you not to be afraid of and over-react to the rain. Maybe I should sign up for the ERC. I do have a couple thousand miles under my belt.
Thanks everyone for the good thoughts and wishes. Much appreciated! |
Even though I've passed the motorcycle license course and have my endorsement, I still do slow speed maneuvers every now and then in season just to keep sharp. It's also kind of fun. Might help you as well to keep in touch with the bike. I plan on more when Spring comes around too.
