Well, I did it…

.. I took a ride on a motorcycle and did not dump it over. I came close a few times, but as I learned to relax and enjoy the ride, I did fine. I managed to shift into second gear and back down. I learned (the frightening way) that stopping very quickly with just the front brake was a bad idea (thank God for a good suspension!).

It’s all a matter of coordination and balance, but once you get the hang of it, it’s not so bad. I’m sure it’s going to be till next spring that I get out into traffic, though.

So you’re all safe for now. 🙂
