Good advice. I tried to get into one after I bought it and all the classes were full. Season is over so will try to get into one next spring. I know I would benefit greatly. Heard good things about them. ABATE runs the courses here in Indiana.

ABATE is a good Organization to hook up with also. They keep a good eye on all our rights as motorcyclists. I've been a member for many years. They also seem to make the winters go by a little faster up here.

Just in case you haven't found out, there is a Bike show at the Indiana fair grounds in February. It's during the Boat Sport and Travel Show. Abate is there that weekend and it's the first chance of the year to sign up for the ABATE classes.

Enjoy your new ride....

I am planning on going to the show. Didn't know ABATE was going to be there. Sounds like signing up early is a good idea.
