Please read this
I'm posting this for every member who's coming back into riding post hibernation. Please assume that your skills HAVE become slightly rusty over the winter months, so don't try jumping back into riding like you're the best thing since sliced bread or Rossi... Take it easy and remember these 10 points for riding safely.

Very thoughtful, however; I am the best thing since sliced bread. Look it up!

It is also harder for drivers to judge how far or fast we are, since we have only one headlight.

Also, check your bike functionality and tire pressures. If you don't know the answer, find out how old your tires are. Under duress (higher corner speeds) older tires WILL slide out sooner than when they would when new.

Good stuff! Thanks for posting ! Just about now is when a lot of people take their bikes out of hibernation! Also be sure to check your tires to make sure they're still good for use.
