Thanks Joel! I'm looking forward to it!

Congratulations, you've made a great choice of bike but be careful, the Wee is a top heavy beast at the stops. I'd suggest some engine guards as a first farkle, they'll save your cowling when you lay it down.

I can feel the excitement, Tim. Congratulations and best of luck!

Looks like someone got crash bars recently. You might want to send Don a message, Tim.

Thanks guys, I'll definitely be msg'ing Don to get some information on them. I appreciate the positive spirit of this forum. I'm glad I found this place!

You are going to have so much fun on that bike! at your height, i think you'll be aware of the top heaviness, but not too terribly affected by it. just be careful making u turns against an uphill slope! that's been my albatross on the 'strom. They'll give you all kinds of great advice about this stuff in your class.

I'm looking forward to reading more about your journey!!

good going and it's never too late!
the MSF is great. just relax and see you on the open road some time soon

Prushn · 07-09-2008, 04:38 PM

Roxxie I had not even thought about that but when you mentioned the U turn on an uphill beads of sweat started forming on my forehead! So my question is...how do you do it successfully?

thanks G1, I'm nervous about doing this but at the same time I just keep smiling to myself

Pretend it's flat, commit to the turn and go all the way through the turn without stopping. It's not a real problem, it only looks like one.

Rgr that, thanks Lyn. Another thing I'll be adding to my practice list!
