Wow! It's been three days since I was in the saddle, and boy did it feel gooooooood! I started the bike with the 2/5ths indicator lit, and one excellent lap around the neighborhood took that second-to last fuel mark away.
I did 5 quick-stops, and not a single one broke traction from the rear tire. The few starting and stopping turns that I took were very comfortable and natural feeling. I had no fear of pushing the bike into a low speed lean in one of my starting turns, and I had incredibly comfortable control of the throttle, even with two fingers covering the brake the whole time.
This wasn't yet the time to take the bike down the road to the gas station, at least not without the consent of my instructor.
3 miles, 15 minutes, big smile.
