Moto'ing 

I'm going to be taking the motorcycle proficiency riding class in May or June (at the latest). There's one offered at the local adult ed place. Once I've taken the course if I pass I'll automatically get my moto license. I already have all the gear I need to ride, the best of everything, so I know I'll be well protected. I also don't plan on riding for much more than just fun little trips here and there. No major freeway, road tripping excursions since I know how dangerous they can be. I'm looking forward to doing something new like this though so it should be a lot of fun. You know how I love hobbies! Which reminds me. I should consider signing up for some jewelry making classes in May. They all fill up so quickly!

Here's what I have so far:
Nolan Modular Helmet in Silver
Held "Galaxy" Racing Glove
Dianese Nylon/Textile Jacket with built in body armor and optional back armor slot (this jacket is awesome! But I have yet to find a pic anywhere. If I find a link I'll include it)

Next to buy once the class is over:
- back armor (maybe)
- Sidi boots

My ex told me to get the Honda CB1 as a first bike if I like riding. Those are so hard to find though, so we'll see. The bike below was something I read about in an article on bikes for shorter women. I'm 5' 3". Apparently this bike works well for women of my height. I'd like to try one out.

Anyways, if the class works well for me, which I hope it does. I'll be saving my pennies up for one of these suckers! Or so I'd like. We'll see. Look how well this bike goes with all my gear though! Haha! Nothing wrong with coordinating. I'm the queen of it.

The Monster is a cool bike, but if seat height is an issue I believe that the Honda 599 is slightly lower and still a great bike.
I just bought a 620 Monster and am anxious to get riding.
