Welcome aboard! Glad to hear that your ride has given you some freedom. I took up riding recently at 58 and it's a blast. I never rode a bike before other than being on the back of a friends bike back in 1969 (once). I took the MSF BRC to get started and had purchased a 2007 GZ250 which had only 2430 miles on it from someone in my neighborhood. I got a great price on it and love riding it. The riding was on my bucket list so with a move from NY to SC it was the thing to do.
Ride safe my friend.
