First off, I want to thank each of you for sharing all this valuble information. I got my endorsement in Sept, rode 3000 miles on a honda 250 rebel and then purchased my first triumph. I find myself every few weeks returning to review all the tips . I honestly can say that because of each of you sharing your experiance , I am really enjoying the whole process of being a newbie rider. I ride every day and I am progressing nicely... I have many aha moments as I feel more at ease and more in control. practice practice and practice is the best advice.
THANKS SO MUCH TO EACH OF YOU AND KEEP THE ADVICE COMING.
