Greetings, it's nice to see the youngsters taking motorcycles up again. '70's would mean you were 15-25 when riding last. If you are like me the skills are sorta rough. If you haven't done so already I strongly recommend the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic RIder Course -- it is a great refresher and even if you do know it all it is good to have this verified.
As for the forums, without the face to face or even voice inflections it is easy to take something the wrong way, causing ill feelings. Don't let anything get to you, if something strikes you wrong just ignore. (Same as riding -- just avoid the idiots as they will run into other idiots and get what they deserve then.)
