My utmost and heartfelt thank you to the vfrworld members that helped me.

wow, this was an amazing thread to read. its just proof positive that vfrworld.com truly is second to none when it comes to the brotherhood of an online community. I've helped a number of friends, and even my own younger brother, usher themselves into the riding world, and the 2 things that im always the most insistent on are that they take the MSF course and acquire full armored gear in which to ride. When you ride smart and you ride safe, you tend to ride for years on end. It always does my heart good to see somebody use these guidelines, as well as finding the right bike for themselves, and end up enjoying so many years up on 2 wheels and enjoying all that motorcycling has to offer.

Cundalini, id like to thank you for this thread, and for pointing out what these folks have done not only for you, but for vfrworld.com, for the overall VFR community, and for the motorcycling community in general. I'd also like to extend thanks to each and every person who've helped Cundalini in this unique journey he's taken. If any of you are ever in the DFW area, youll have to look me up so we can drink a beer to this thread.

its worth a case and then some
