So after having the new bike (Striple R) in the garage for a whole week and unable to ride it (long story)...
I finally got out last night and today and put 200 km's on it.
I have to admit I was scared

out of my wits.. but my buddy coached me along and I have to admit my confidence has grown.
I look forward to riding alot more and getting to know some of the other RAT;s in Calgary.
