Nice ride, but a word of caution, remember your not invincible and that the bike has capabilities far beyond your riding skills. A sad statistic is that older folks getting back on two wheel rides are being killed and maimed at an alarming rate. We are much more likely to be hurt than the younger riders according to statistics recently quoted to me by a writer for one of the bike magazines.
Not to throw water on your parade, just a reminder to keep your wits about you and drive defensively. Lots of careless drivers on the road and you have to watch for them, because they are not watching for you.
From an older rider that got off years ago after witnessing two identical fatal accidents with motorcycles in front of my house in San Francisco on two Friday evenings in a row. Decided there was a message there for me.
