Welcome to the forum, Heather.
Nice to have another gal around.
I understand completly how you feel.
Myself I am a 5 year rider and enjoy
every sec on my bike.
Any concerns about the bike and the mechanics
of it, these guys are the best around.
Their is a wonderful tech section and plenty of
how to's with pics encluded.
So again, welcome and don't forget to post pics
of yourself, bike and scenery of your rides..
