Congratulations! Let us know which you like best - riding or driving. Ride safe!
Thanks!
To me, the two activities are very different. Riding is great for the thrill factor and as a release from stresses (can't focus on anything but riding when on the bike), but the rawness of it has increased my desire for a very pure and lively car tenfold. Something like Ron's Porsche with unboosted steering and brakes would be outstanding. With the bike, I can feel every little tar patch strip and stone whereas with modern cars -- even sports cars -- they're so clinical and isolating now that they're a fraction of the joy to drive as they once were.
5WheelDrive, the woman who owned my bike before me has a Versys which she finds much better suits her desire for touring than the more aggressive SV.
I love that I can get all my urban-riding performance thrills and still only spend barely more than $10 for a tank of fuel. And parking rocks too.
