Don't know what is required where you are, and is the weather decent to ride this time of year??? I have a friend in New Jersey who rides and he said it was nice there for a few days, and then it started snowing again. Enjoy your new ride!!!!! You crazy, crazy girl!!!! Hugs, ((((((Lindsey))))))

Thanks I don't have my license yet... I have to go do a written test for my learner's, which I'm going to do soon. With that I can ride within 100 kms of my house, during daylight hours and without a passenger. I'm going to sign up for a safety course after I get more used to riding. They're offering a 3-day weekend course or a 5-day weekday course in my city from May through to August, which includes classroom instruction and they supply bikes and take you out to a parking lot to teach you better riding techniques and how to deal with different situations. After that I think I'll go take the road test for my license.
I think it'll be the end of April or the beginning of May before I'll get to start ridiing. There's still a lot of gravel on the roads, and ice in some areas. On top of that, there was a lot of freezing and thawing between January and now so there are huge potholes EVERYWHERE. But as soon as riding season comes along the price of bikes is going to jump so I'm glad I got mine now. I also have some time now to study up and learn more about my bike before I hop on it!
