-------------------------------------

Sounds like you had a great first experience! Congratulations. That's what it's all about. Be careful at those somewhat faster speeds & moving that steering wheel quickly.

Also, you sure are lucky to get to experience all that nice scenery & wheelin over there in Colorado. From what I know so far, we don't have anything in GA (scenery wise) that can quite compare to that (at least I haven't been to such a place yet if it exists, but I'm sure as soon as this is posted someone will correct me). So don't take it for granted!
