Riding is awesome. Nothing can compare.
nater, congrats on the Buell. IMO they are cool bikes. i really like the design cues (fuel tank, oil tank, exhaust, etc).
good to hear that you got the right gear and that you're interested in the MSF. too many are buying bikes and not thinking about these things.
i would suggest a good pair of boots as well. alpinestar, sidi, and oxtar come to mind as good brands (check out www.newenough.com and www.kneedraggers.com)
i have an Arai RX7-Corsair helmet and Alpinestars jacket, gloves and boots and I can't say enough about them.
have fun and ride safe bro.
