Default Finally! First Ride....

Picked up my new bike tonight, and took er home! It was my first time on a bike in almost 20 years, so I was a little nervous! And it was so damn hot here! But all went well, I guess you don't forget! Wifey took some pics......

Anyways, think I'll head back out, nice thing about Yellowknife this time of year, it never gets dark! LOL

Nice ride, Melonbob. Cagers haven't gotten any more bike friendly in the past 20 years. Be careful gettin' your road legs (and butt) back!

Fortunately I kept up on my motorcycle license and had been somewhat keeping my skills fresh. Good luck with the licensing and remember to take it easy. Head and eyes are truly the key!

I've never been licenced, grew up in the bush where nobody had one.....even here its weird, I don't even need one as long as I have a licenced driver in a vehicle or bike riding behind me....
