What I learned: Tension and uncertainty are the bane of the motorcyclist. But if you are confident that confidence will come, confidence will come.

Don’t do what I did: Avoid holding the bars in a death grip. The most valuable piece of advice I’ve heard related to this is to hold onto the grips as if they were baby birds.

Good advice there from a novice..

Enjoyed it. Purty bike, too.
