So I am pretty sure I found my first bike and will be buying it this weekend. Its an 07 V Star 1100. I am signed up for the soonest course I could, May 14.
In the meantime, I live in the country and there is almost no traffic on my secondary roads, I figure I can practice there, maybe drive to the local school and practice slow maneuvering alone.
The down side is, I need to ride 9 km (5.5 miles) of gravel, before I hit the pave. I admit, the gravel worries me more than anything. I know I need to lay off the front brake. Any other tips?
