Thanks Ron, the guy that's been training my wife and I is a fantastic instructor. I'll be coming to RRR with him in a few weeks. I'm trying to keep focused on the fact that the "software" under the helmet is just as, if not more, important than the "hardware," and to keep my mental focus sharp. I've only been able to practice on the street, where I will not "push" or ride "hard" anymore. So I'm sure the track will put me outside of my comfort zone and make me really use those mental tools that I'm picking up.
That was the turning point that really got my wife to accept motorcycling about 2-1/2 years ago before she let me get my first. I told her that the Good Lord could call me home at any point, where I was making a sammich in the kitchen or riding a motorcycle. Now She's got two bikes, and is planning to do track days with me next year. We take training classes together and ride everywhere together - and she puts me to shame with how quickly she picks things up.
