Hi Everyone,

Finally decided to get into motorcycling at 50 years old. Having taken the safety courses and passed my test I am proud to announce that my first bike ever is a red Icon!

While I had ridden very intermittently in my youth, this is a great bike to start on so long as you respect it. A little 'volatile' (at least compared to the sluggish Harley they made us use for the MSF testing) in 1st gear, but very easy to ride.

Am loving my new found pastime........having fun, but being safe doing it.

Welcome.

You're right about showing the bike respect, as goes with just about any other bike, even more so with the higher you go in CC's.

Have you started looking into doing modifications/accessories?

Hey and welcome:

So now you get to be your own parent , the first year feels like being 16 again newly learning to drive a car.

Also enjoying my mid-life crises

Play safe.
