Two years after taking the rider course, and one year after officially getting my M1, I finally bought my first bike!!!

It was crazy because I originally only went out to CycleGear to buy a helmet and jacket, and I decided to go and look at a couple bikes I’ve been window shopping on Craigslist. The next thing I know, I’m handling the paperwork and having my bike delivered the next day! LoL!

Oh man…it was REALLY scary the first ride. But I got the shaky bugs off after two days riding. Went over to the navy base and practiced leaning into my turns in the empty parking lots. Got the bike over 55mph, and got shifting smoothly down. It’s a lot of fun, and I’m really glad I did it. I just wish I had a better place to store it.

For anyone out there waiting and window shopping, just go for it! You’ll be glad you did!
