I'll tell ya something man... I got my bike in December 01, it was like 50+ degrees and I figured I could toot around the block or whatever. Got to the end of my street. Tried to turn around, and dropped it. FIRST day I had it. I took the course the following April having not gotten on it again untill I did!! Been fine ever since. I reccomend it to EVERYONE no matter how macho they are
