I'd really like to start posting updates about rides, gear reviews, maintenance details, and so on and so forth. So, I think this will be the last of the retrospective entries and the rest will be devoted to more current riding experiences. Maybe I will throw in a flashback or two later on, but we'll see.
After getting my Rebel I soon discovered that learning to ride in a closed-off parking lot is
nothing like being on the real road.Needless to say, my first
time out on the little roads in our community filled me with apprehension
and anxiety. It had been a few weeks since the class, and you tend to
lose new skills if you don't use them again right away.
