Ahh so is anyone gonna come help ya? It took me forever to go over 45, but I have to say turning was the worst. Practice going in a circle/oval and reverse your direction, so you practice turning both ways. Its also good to go in between cones and reverse your direction. But first make sure you play with all your controls and feel confident w/ the weight of the bike, when you are walking the bike, takng it off the kickstand and stuff.... and BTW the bike doesn't stay up by itself when you put the kickstand up, right Q....lol (a lady in our msf class droped the bike when she took it off the kickstand...the first time we got on the bikes)

haha sounds awful, but i've already sat on the bike and took it of the kickstand, etc... the weight isnt too bad at all.

and yea, i have my boss, j4k3 (he said he was going to talk to some people and bring them), gazoo said he'd come, and a few others off here....

should be a nice little meet / teach caleb to ride party.

I'll probably be down tomorrow evening for the dinner meet (pending if I get talked into going with the parents tomorrow). So if anything I can show you a bit tomorrow. Suppoed to be decently warm and sunny.

What time do you get out of work
