Hee hee - no I don't have any tattoos.

Thanks everyone, for your responses and concern. I took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course (MSF), and they went over the importance of proper gear, the risks, etc.

I'm fully aware of the dangers - my parents also talked to me for a while - especially my dad, as he used to ride a motorcycle, about how dangerous it can be, and that any mistakes are not good.

I also know I will NEVER be going on a highway with any bike I have. If I can't get to a place on back roads, I'll either not go, or put the bike on a trailer and take it to where I want to ride.
