Currently Kelowna, but have bounced around quite a bit. Hubby had a 954 Honda CBR when he bought me the bike. Said he didn't want me riding on the back and I was going to have to learn. Bought me a helmet and sent me to the course. (With these motorcycle guys the bike if part and parcel) Hubby switched to a KLR 650 though and is planning a long road trip. He wants to take me but says no way unless I spend the summer practicing. That's why I'm on the forum, trying to get the bike running and get advice from more experienced riders.

I am very interested in taking some more classes. I bought the book Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough and I have found that very helpful, especially the part about how likely I was to die if I didn't get some rider training and the suggestions for practice excercises. I'll look up the V-twin school that would be great.

To be honest I hardly have any time under my belt, the bike has been broken or unridable nearly the whole time I have owned it. I am resolved to get on two wheels this summer. (Safely)

Thanks for the welome. You guys are really encouraging.
