madjak30I definately didn’t plan on riding to my buddies place on my first ride…I hope to just ride around the neighborhood, and some back roads for my first couple of days…then maybe ride to the office for the week, which would give me about 15 mins on a divided hiway each way…then if I hadn’t changed to my truck because of nerves, then maybe ride to my buddies on the second weekend…I’ll play it by ear…I take my course on May 12th, 13th and 14th…4hrs classroom, then two 6hr days riding in a closed course. I take my test after the course…I will be getting my registration and insurance ASAP after that. It will be the end of May before I am even thinking of that road trip…this week will be hell though, seeing the bike, having the gear, but no insurance so no riding…
As for following too close, I have a feeling I will have to worry more about people behind me than trying to go faster…I tend to be “that guy” that does the posted speed limit, but I do enjoy accelleration…
