 What do you think is the most helpful part?  I was thinking about getting one of these, but wonder if it would help beyond what I'm doing already (tracking nutrition, exercise).

I noticed it tracks sleep.  That's pretty cool.

I have had one for years and I love it. It tracks steps, exercise, calories and even sleep. 

I am hoping to put some miles down this weekend. Knock the dust off the tires

No, I had Dustin and I can't remember the other instructors name but, I know he was a Harley guy

You may have been. I intend to take another course when I can. I thought about the advanced course.

I have been debating getting a short ride in this afternoon (if I can escape from work unnoticed).

I definitely work at keeping it shiny side up

So, I have to start by saying most of my life I have not understood riding and thought it was a dangerous way to spend your time and money. With that said as I have gotten older the idea has started to appeal more and more. The straw that broke the camels back is visiting my brother in Vegas and he let me through a leg over his Harley, it has been game over ever since.

I took my MSF course back in September at Polaris and had a great pair of instructors. I have since bought my first bike (2015 Triumph Thruxton) not into the whole cafe racer thing per se. The bike just felt right and I couldn't get the smile off my face during my test ride.

I have commuted to work a few times on my bike while the weather was good. Now that old man winter is letting up I am starting to get out for some short rides despite the cold.

Anyway, I am checking this out at the advice of my MSF instructor and hoping to possibly meet some people and get advice when needed.

I am with you. The idea of somebody I don't know on my ride makes me cringe. One of my coworkers just decided one day to throw a leg over it without asking and I absolutely cringed
