Advice for returning rider

[Easy Drifter]

Take a rider's course. I was off two wheels for almost 15 years due to an accident that almost killed me.

The Riders course was the best thing I ever did. You won't regret it, and it will allow you to build your confidence back.

I took 15 yrs off from riding....first thing I did when I started back up was take an advanced safety course.  Best thing I could have done....really helped me get my riding legs back...I even used my own 800 drifter for the class...got me some experience on it before i actually went out and hit the pavement...no pun intended.  after a couple of years, I went back up to a bigger bike (drifter 1500).  I think taking the class helped me better prepare for how stupid drivers on the road can be....I had forgotten that over the previous years of not riding....

I've had no experience with the steering stabilizers on a 2-wheeler, so can't comment on that.

But the rider's safety course is a good idea.  Gets you some ride time on (typically) a smaller, lighter bike before going out on the cruiser.

Take a class FIRST! A lot has changed in 10 years.

I stopped riding about 10 years ago after i hit a bump wrong, got death wobble on my bike, and broke my hand. I finally broke down and bought a bike again missing it so much. Since it has been so long and i am trying to get my sea legs back so to speak would it be a decent idea to put a steering stabilizer on my bike? I know it is not a typical thing to put on a crusier but given my history not really sure.
