    Default New to the forum

    Hey all..new to the forum. Friday I picked up a 2008 RS with 1,955 miles. Came with a backrest, Hindle exhaust and taller windshield. I suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) in 2001 which affects my balance as well as other things. I am hoping to have it all legal this week. Very excited. If anyone has any helpful hint, tips or suggestions..i am all ears.

    Many thanks. Just going to take baby steps. Follow the traing as laid out in the manuel. Short trips. Thenmultiple rides. Even my buddies want in on the experience. We're going to set up the cone course and make a competition outta it. Some had their motorcycle license before their car license..lol
