The music doesn't bother me as much anymore because I rarely listen to the radio as I listen the Spotify. I also can drive hours with no music or sound so when I do want to listen to Christmas music I listen to it through Spotify and pick and choose. Little drummer boy is one of my big favorites as well.

@@alfredmccoy5182 The size is very intimidating at first. Give it a few days of riding, and you’ll find it’s as easy, or even easier to ride than some others you may have ridden. The weight is all down low, making it very easy to maneuver. (Not to mention the low seat height) Ride one, get used to starting and stopping without paddling your feet, then get comfortable at speed. Only then should you start trying to do slow speed practicing. Thanks for watching, and for the comment, and good luck! I don’t think you will be disappointed if you buy one!! Patrick

Very good topic. I have though about doing something myself... like the brett tcak training. Grant it they help you a lot and i'm not saying they aren't good but man it was like $1200 for the weekend. Hard to swing that with everything else going on. I would try and practice more on my own but like roger said, if i'm practicing bad/wrong is it helpful or not.

Enjoy your time in Floriday with your mom, when your parents are gone it creates a void that never gets filled. One of those life lessons we don't comprehend until they are gone.
