My Speedmaster was my first bike as well. Bought it the week after I passed the MSF course, drooled over it for three months prior. I had the dealer deliver it because I wasn't comfortable riding it home, I needed more time. The first ride around the block was great no problems. The second not so good. I didn't even make it out of my driveway. I didn't let it warm up enough before I closed the choke. When I went to take off the bike stalled and the wieght caught me by surprise. I must say it was a nice gacefull fall and it only scratched the mirror.
No real moral here. Practice what you learn. Ride safely. Enjoy yourself.
In the past year since I got my Speedmaster I've ridden many differnt bikes. I go to every dealer demo day I can and ride as many bikes as they'll let me. I love my Speedmaster and have no plans on replacing it. It's one great bike.
