Look I[m hitting the big 60 and just started 2 years ago riding. Take the Course, not the dirt bike, take it twice if you have too. I did and love riding now did 5,000 last summer. I wear a lady bug helmet and proud of it. Drive a S50 and love it. Took three bikes to get there all suzuki’s. It is amazing how other drivers react to my Lade Bug, they give me the right away. My husband on his Harley doesn’t get the respect. I do believe it is the helmet. I think everyone should try their dreams. I couldn’t even look at a bike 3 years ago. It scared me. Now I ride and if God takes me, it’s ok, I had three strokes, 1 heart attack and a corodid artery. Driving is my enjoyment and riding is what the course taught me, and last practice makes almost perfect. by Snuggles
