Thanks BadBob!

I totally agree... my live "tutor" is a former motorcycle safety instructor. He drove my bike to and from the old motorcycle test range and even did the dreaded gas fill-up for me. : )
Some other offers to learn, that I graciously had to decline, entailed "going for a short ride". I am not quite ready for that yet.
I bought a full face helmet with the "anti-fog" visor and wear that along with my new gloves and jacket while practicing.

Although I like "the FREE" internet, I'll probably order a few.. if not ALL of the books that you recommended.
Funny, my decision to purchase a 250 was based on advise that I had read on the "vtwinmama" website.
Hey, I know that I don't own a V-twim... But that's okay by me!
Nice to hear that you all are enjoying this bike. I can't wait to do the same.
I'm also curious to see why everyone thinks that I will be tired of this bike so quickly... especially since I haven't even gotten started with the riding part of it yet! Ha-Ha!
