Welcome to the forum Roadfinder! Always great to have another rider on board. I have a similar story - had a hairy experience on a bike about 20 years ago and gave up riding for a while. But when gas prices got so high over the last couple of years, I decided I needed to get something that got better than the 13 mpg my Dodge truck gets. And what gets better mileage than a motorcycle, let alone a 250?

So I have been riding to work every day for the last couple of months, and I am loving it (even with the 115º temperatures!) Just for good measure, I ride with much more protection now than I used to - full face helmet, riding jacket, gloves, boots - so just in case I have another close meeting with the pavement, I come out a little better than I did 20 years ago! Lol!

Again, welcome - enjoy that bike, and ride safe :2tup:
