Talking First Cruise (WET)

Well I have my C50 two weeks today. I took my first ride to some where today, to a local rethread Saturday breakfast affair. We sat down and the storm clouds started forming. Yep after breakfast, the sky's opened up on me. That storm followed me home all the way. 20 miles worth, it poured. Now, I have been off a bike for ten years until two weeks ago. I considered stopping and finding a dry spot, to wait it out, but the C50 was so confidence inspiring that I just carried on and to be honest about it, I had to prove something to my self and did, I pulled into my drive way (still pouring) beeped a couple of times and my wife (bless her) opened to garage door. I guess she thought I would be looking for some sympathy, but dam it I was grinning from ear to ear. 10 years away felt like 10 days. No I am not on an Ego thing nor am I cocky. I still am going to take the experience MSF course next week only now I feel I really belong there. Why did I stay away so long?
