Long? Long you say??? Young lady, your posts are not long! Have you read some of mine lately? Easy used to complain about my long posts, but now he's found other things to complain about. :poke2:

Really, it's good to have the point of view of a new, young, female rider here. I like what you write. I think you have a lot of sense. Remember, motorcycling is one of relatively few things you will do in life where your life literally depends on how well you do it. Therefor, learning is a lifelong experience, and riding is best approached with that attitude. By the questions you ask and the comments you make, it is obvious that you are aware of this, and are actively trying to improve all the time. Sometimes young males think they have to know it all already. Dishearteningly few riders I know really try to learn more on a continuing basis as part of the whole riding "deal".

The people who really should consider giving it up are the ones who think that they have nothing more to learn, and have no need of improvement.
