I own a sport tourer, so I can cruise with the cruisers. I just rode 5 hours the other weekend with a harley group on a charity ride for epilepsy. all the back roads along south eastern ohio...

and your skill will improve...I suggest taking a motorcycle safety course. I took one years ago and it will take you from being a novice to a confident beginner rider. They point out the obvious to you, making you think about things that you wouldnt normally unless someone says something...like this: whats the first thing you grab when you are mounting your moto? the front hand brake. Why? because you will be ensuring that it wont move or roll out from under you on a hill...

 

I definitely plan on taking the Motorcycle Ohio Basic Rider Course to get my endorsement and learn more things. I'll ride with anyone really, I could care less what they have so long as they are out riding and enjoying themselves
