Rookie! LOL

I had to chuckle when I read your story. It reminded me of my first and only motorcycle I bought. I wasn't used to the clutch and throttle and zinged across the road down a small ditch and up the hill to end up sitting in the field...looking back at the wife who was following in the car and just saw it in her eyes...I knew you shouldn't get that damn thing.

But I'd say with the V8 you finally approached it the right way with easing into using it. Like last year, I'd like to see your beast, so hopefully you are going to make it to the Colorado CAA this summer.
