Arsenal, True, the weight intimidated me a bit too. Did some upper body exercises and that helped. The bikes they used for the MSF course were little 125cc street bikes. Don't remember the make. They were really light weight to me. My main mental block was the tight turns. I think I have it down now.
Dogg, I didn't mean you to be included amongst the men that seem to think their wives can only handle smaller bikes than the America. Sorry about the implication.
