I'm signed up for my BRC on May 9th. I'm pretty excited as I really want my license. I told my wife she should stop by and take a picture of my 6'6" rear end on those tiny bikes. I already picked up a bike and have done a little bit of practice on with my brother, a KLR650. That thing is so tall, it's going to be quite a shock to be on something so tiny.

Took and completed the MSF BRC this past weekend. Was stuck riding a lovely Kymco Venox. Holy crap it sucked. Wanted to stall just sitting with the clutch pulled in and shifting to second gear usually required me to kick the shifter a few times.

I blame the bike on my practical score of 10.

This, exactly. Highway riding is actually pretty boring. Yeah, going 60-70 MPH is kinda neat, but just going straight forever while your head gets beat up with wind buffeting gets old. I was scared shitless to do it for the first time; it goes away quickly.
