    Another Beautiful Day for a Ride! Anyone else get out today?

    Well considering the only other road bike I've ridden is the CBR125(during the M1 exit course), this took some getting used to! Practiced some emergency stops and a few other things before setting off on the street for the first time. Didn't have the balls to get rid of the chicken strips...
