Great Idea. Beat up the metric. It's good therapy.
The worst I ever did a stumble drop was trying to turn right from a parking lot into traffic. At least it gave me a reason to buy the set of handles I wanted.
The more you ride it the more confident you will get.
This is the kind of story we like to see here . Congrats on persisting and riding till you now feel comfortable . The Road King is a great bike . Ride safe and enjoy .
