There are old pilots, and bold pilots, but no old, bold pilots.

Geez, that’s horribly hot! I will try to take my 100-105 degrees (with only 25 to 45 percent humidity, not near Florida-like, but not as dry as Phoenix) with a bit less whining, then.
I do have one of the tech-type jackets with the inner linings out for the summer, and it is alright when you’re moving, but those stoplights are a bear. But I will sure wear it, as I would rather be safe than sorry.

Thank you all for the kind replies about the picture! I thought it was a great looking bike, but it’s always nice to hear that others think it’s sharp, too!
Special thanks to Elwood for the nice explanation about how to get a picture from Point A to Point B. I know just enough about this now to be considered dangerous.

Hello, Leigh & Lia…
It is a bit unnerving at first to be right there among all the cars & trucks, to be sure. However, it does get easier every time you can find the time to go out. Any riding you can do is “practice”, and the turns and everything else will get to be more second-nature as you move along. You do have to be on your toes and playing “what if” constantly, but there does come a time when you are actually enjoying the ride AND fully analyzing whats going on in front and behind you. I’m really close to the big 50 myself, and hadn’t ridden in 25 years. My hubby & I took the class and have been learning and enjoying the experience for the last nine months or so. Believe in yourself and take it slow, and you’ll see your comfort zone increase.
