That thought has crossed my mind, or at least something I wouldn't cry over if I happened to drop it.

I agree on the confidence thing, and feel it a blessing, and a curse. If I were young and dumb, I wouldn't even be thinking about it.

I'll get there. Seems pretty common for guys my age to get their 1st bike. Been reading a lot of forums, and bought the book "Proficient Motorcycling", on a recommendation from one of them.

The big problem is, it's done nothing but rain since I got her, so I've had more time to think, than just get on and ride.
