Well, just barely - but by four days, it counts!
I know, I know; others have done more - but to think a year ago today, I'd never even been on a motorcycle.
10-Aug-2012 was the first day of the three-day Beginner MSF class, we didn't get on any bikes until the next day though.
Went to the local Honda dealership the Monday after the class, bought my NC700X off the floor - picked it up the next day.
No 'starter' bike for me, I was going to figure this out and just do it - to borrow someone else's words "I just never looked back".
Didn't fall over until the second day with the bike - in an intersection, of course, got a laugh and a thumbs up from some chick in an Escalade.
I didn't care, I knew it would happen - more than once! - I was prepared for that.
I spent week after week, going out as many nights as I could, trolling around the less traveled streets and neighborhoods here.
Starting and stopping is where you have the most problems - and too fast in the turns . . .
Just kept riding, trying more and more, pushing myself, . . .
What a long strange trip it's been - Thank You ALR.
