thanks for the welcome, trappercase

welp, i'm from Vancouver, Washington and i've only been riding a couple o' months, took a motorcycle class to get my sponsorship and my boyfriend is sooooooo nice that he lets me learn on and ride his tl1000r.
i've already dropped it (on the walkway

) and killed it (left the key on

) so it's sounds to me like i'm well on my way, huh!
btw, found the specs for testing w/ the multimeter when revving the engine and everything checks out great, whew!
