I took the riding course in NH 3 years ago. It was good and I think I might take the experienced rider course next summer, it's a bit late this summer but I'll take it early next year. This summer will be just tooling up & down our road and getting used to riding, maybe I'll take it to my BFs parents house which is like 1.5 miles away, the roads b/t us are not very busy at all, there is a good chance I wouldn't pass one car! I liked being a passenger but it got to the point where I wanted to learn how to ride it all by myself. It's such a good feeling on the open road, the breeze, the thrill. I'm a thrill seeker in my own way, I'm deathly afraid of heights so sky diving it out, bungee jumping is out so this is my thrill!
NH is a great place to have a bike.... so many people here have them and ride in the summer up to the Laconia area. When my BF gets his license we'll have to look for another cheapy bike so we both can ride. Fun fun!
