It's a great feeling isn't it! Just be careful, middle aged riders who are either new or returning after a long break are very over represented in accident stats. Consider taking a safety course or even just doing regular training exercises in a safe environment.

Appreciate the concern! Honestly I picked up the bike late '21 and made sure to take the beginner and intermediate courses. My wife wouldn't ride with me without them.

Sounds like you're doing all the right things 👍
