I always feel a little nervous on the first ride too, except for last year. I didn't get those jitters, I just rode like it had been a couple weeks or so.

How the heck did you get black rear sets?

Passenger pegs are OFF! New front is now on. He's ready to ride!

Awww Kel!! That's awesome I remember that first ride of the season... take it nice and easy. It all comes back, there's a reason they say "it's like riding a bike"

Weve got another month before its actually riding season here, theres still 2 1/2 feet of snow. Butt its warm and the snow is soft and rotten so its no good for snowmobiling

I got out twice this year, for a couple of km each time.

Oddly it hasn't bothered me for the past couple of years because while I was in England riding "season" for me was only a month long. I rode my ass off for that month but it was finite.

Being as it's my first winter back in Canada...it's killing me. ALL I want to do is ride these days!

No, it would be safer. Though, it could get VERY expensive.

It came like that..Duh.

And like everyone said...it will come back to you, its hard to forget how to ride these things even if you go a few months without doing so.

Let us know how the first ride goes!
