It's easy to be seduced by Bikes that are better and easier to ride, tire technology and suspension systems are far more user friendly now days. But don't let it lull you into a false sense of security, take a positive step to get re acquainted with the new environment and make a decision to develop your rider ability.

I understand the resistance to signing up to a course, or getting involved in training.
I took the approach that if I met, level headed motorcyclist, I could learn plenty from them.
I have enjoyed the safety factor of riding in a group, the fun of exploring routes and roads I never knew existed.

This process has brought me here. McRides.
