Another lady rider here! I learned a couple years ago at 47 years of age.
I don't think I'm bad azz, but hubby does....LOL.
Was talking with a guy recently who used to ride a lot, but all his buddies just wanted to ride a little and stop at bars a lot. He wanted to RIDE. We told him to look us up. Riding and drinking should not mix anyway!
To OP:
This is a great opportunity to learn new things! It's a big world out there!
