Yes Shaggy, be very very careful. You may be smart enough to not do anything stupid but it's the idiots driving around you that will kill you. I have been riding since I was about 6 years old but don't ride street bike any more.

A friend of mine was recently telling me about her daughters boyfriend a few years ago. He bought a crotch rocket and rode it home from the dealer. Never had a bike before so he was being careful. Rode it to her house to show her, then on the way back someone ran a stop sign and almost killed him. The doctors were saying every day for a month, he won't make it through the night. He ended up making it and said he wouldn't buy another bike. A year and a half later he is at park playing ball with some friend when one of them gets him to ride his new bike around the block. Being very careful, and only go 20-25 he made his way around the block. About half way around, a women backed out of her driveway without looking and he hit her. Never saw it coming and killed him instantly.

Not trying to scare you Shaggy, just want you to be careful so we can see more shots of the S10 in Moab
