NAC: Assistance with motorcycle needed in SE Virginia

[David Ullrich]

Already bought all the safety gear you mentioned. The only other gear I want
to get (and I may wait a while for this) is GOOD riding pants with removable
armor.

As for waiting for GOOD instruction, I really do plan on doing that Basic
Rider Training class, but I would love it if someone was willing to show me
the basics so I can do a little practicing...like I said on the back/empty
roads and in parking lots.

Thanks in advance to all...
