Good news, gang. Finished the MSF course this evening and am now licensed.
I'll be picking up my bike from Steveh over the next few weeks and am looking forward to cruising this fall. I hope everybody is having a great weekend.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Congrats on the course, a good way to start the adventure. Did you decide upon a SM or TBA? Either way, they are great bikes to get out and enjoy the road. I am very happy with my TBA, especially with the Bubs and lightbar installed after 600 mile service.

Let's just hope his bike isn't a man eater. That would be out of touch with current motorcycling paradigms.

Start planning your route now. Once you get on your Triumph, you'll be wanting to take the very long way home.
