Re: LADIES-Do it yourself or get someone to do it for you?
I am not in the least bit mechanically inclined. I can do a few things on a car. Screwing something up won't necessarily get me killed. Screwing up the motorcycle could, so I leave that to the professionals. I don't know anyone that scared of a bike. Yikes. Sounds like the husband could use a weeken...

Re: Best tires for on-road stability?
Tire pressure is definitely key. Mine gets a touch wobbly when the front tire gets low, which is about once a week.

Re: Passed my test!!!!!! Now what??
Practice, like everyone else said, to know thy machine. Get to know it as though it's an extension of yourself. If you have some open spaces to work with, I also suggest finding out how fast your bike can accelerate. That's just as important as knowing how fast you can stop. Developing that 6th sens...
