That's all. I'm excited and kinda scared. I'm really into cars and absolutely love driving and motorcycles look like fun, so I signed up for a course on a whim. Still haven't told my parents and probably won't anytime soon, since they believe riding a motorcycle is borderline suicidal and I don't want them freaking out.

Yeah, I think that tinge of anxiety is healthy, as long as it's not overwhelming. It feels helpful for keeping focused in any activity where safety issues are frequently disastrous, even if they might occur infrequently. And recognizing there's a danger there kind of enhances the enjoyment of doing it.
