Noreaster here in Philly, so no riding for me until at least Saturday. I bought a copy of 'Proficient Motorcycling' by Hough to pass the time. The book has a lot of good tips and good explanations about the dynamics of motorcycling. I really need to go find a parking lot and do some drills. I wonder how the folks at Barbs Harley Davidson would feel if I took my beemer over to their MSF range to practice.. I guess I could go off hours.

Yra . .well wait till ya do it the first time. Cold wet and windy is a whole new experience. loL Dont rush, plenty of time to tackle crappy weather after you have all the basics mastered and comfortable.
