Looks like a nice find.
Remember; watch your back, if possible make eye contact, make sure you can always be seen and dont get yourself into something you don't have the power to get yourself out of.

Oh! have fun.

Nice looking bike Tim, it looks like the seat is even in good shape. Well since several of the old-timers here have given you some fine advice about riding. I thought I'd give my thoughts also. IMO, Keep in your mind that Everyone in a cage is trying to deliberately kill you. That way you might stay away from the few nuts that really do. It's also much easier to take the drivers test w/a small bike as it is much more handlable.

I second what ronjones says. I always assume that every cage is going to cut me off or pull out in front of me. That way I am not unpleasantly surprises.

Take care and ride safe. That is one pretty bike.

That is a nice looking bike Tim. Just take your time and learn to ride safe and watch for them little old ladies that cannot see over the steering wheel.
