After almost a year off I will start riding again as soon as this weekend!  Prior to the break I had a few years of riding exprience during which I rode almost daily. I rode a m750 which I did not come close to finding the limits of. I will now be on a m620ie so I will be dealing with the same amount (lack) of power. I have taken the MSF course, always wear my gear, etc. So my request is that you remind me of some of the lessons I should have learned in my previous riding life. Cheers. sac |

Oh I'm all sorts of excited. But oddly I'm a bit daunted too. Can't say why. Just need to get my head back in it. [moto] sac |

Thanks Ab. Actually I never ride in large groups anyway as I find most motorcyclists to be arrogant pricks.

pretty much ride like everyone is either going to try and kill you or can't see you; if you do that you should pretty much avoid most "oops" moments.

When in doubt gun it out.
In otherwords,
in a funny situation, its probably better to stay on the throttle than to brake.
