I think you'd do fine, Chip! AND, I kind of agree with you here BTW.

I suppose some folks here may think because almost ALL of us learned the "hard way"(as in, it was probably not until I rode these suckers 2 or 3 years BEFORE I even had a inkling what the heck "countersteering" even WAS, let alone what the term "late apexing" means in turns, back when I was but a pup), that "if it was good enough for ME, than bygum it's good enough for those newbies out there who want to purchase a motorcycle" to "learn" how to ride these suckers! An almost SURE prescription for "gettin' in a situation a little over your head" one less than fine day, I might add!!!

(yep...I kind'a have NO problem with the idea that gettin' a MOTORCYCLE license bein' a mite harder to get...considerin' how friggin' easy it seems gettin' a regular drivers license has always seemed to be....yep, notice if you will folks ALL the friggin' MORONS in CAGES out there on the road around ya every single friggin' day who evidently found gettin' THEIR drivers license a friggin' snap, HUH???!!!)


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)
