ah well, bully for you OP.

you will definately enjoy it especially since all your buds ride. Try not to get too preachy about it. Just ride and enjoy. In my experience riding a SS is more of a mental leap than a physical one. Don't get me wrong, You will be much better off riding one if you have tremendous power. But getting over the mental hurdle is the toughest. You will find that there are many reasons people tell you you can't do things. Once you get past them, it's all about pain and smiles. enjoy
