    Bud have you taken a MSF rider class yet? Those are great classes and I think there are three levels, beginner, advanced and sport bike. I have taken all three over the yrs, I can tell you that at under 25 mph the class will get the blood pumping. They teach really great riding skills in the advanced and sport bike classes. Be warned, I have seen good riders dump their bikes in the class trying some of the maneuvers. It will build great rider skills, confidence and it might make you enjoy a windy country road better than a 1/4 straight.
