so a veteran to help me shakedown will be awesome.
LOL, veteran? Me? Dude, you are so off base with that thought process.
I have raced a couple of times, it's fun, but not something I do all the time. Training for racing takes the fun out of riding for me!
I just like to go ride, have fun, stop and enjoy the scenery, ...etc.
