Good to have you!!

Man it's getting hard to keep track of all these n00bs!!

Not meant as a criticism by any means... but your mention of being on the bike for a couple months and feeling really comfortable reminds me of that statistic about how the majority of crashes happen after your fist 6 months (or was it a year?) when you start to get overly comfortable and start to push past your limits. Careful out there!

The first 6 months Chip...but the statistics are still high in the second 6 months because of said comfort level.

Nice to have you aboard.

The Suzuki SV650 is a great motorcycle!

The one I read said that it was even higher after a certain amount of time because typically you take it super easy and go slow at first when you're still learning. So while a lot of noob mistakes get made early on, it's after you get comfortable but still don't have fully honed skills that it gets a bit more dangerous.
