Perhaps you should take the MSF course first....
Then you will have a point of reference.
And probably a large grin when you complete the course

You're probably right. I was jumping way ahead of myself

see what I mean? Well I guess I could get my uncle to help me out. That was my last option as he's a big grouch and yells alot :( Not to mention his Harley was stolen right under his nose almost 12 years ago and so I don't think that wound has healed enough for him to have gotten another bike much l...

Oh thanks!

My first day on and already learned lots

New here, and new to riding! I bought my first bike a few days ago! I have been riding with my boyfriend for over a year, time for me to learn :D. He is teaching me, I practiced yesterday and today in a parking lot. I am having so much fun so far!!! Still in first gear, but getting good at at it, s...

[ No, no, no, no. What I know about bikes falls between "jack" and "nothing." I know about the process I used to become a rider, and I know about the bikes I shopped for. I know a little bit about fixing my own bike because I had to. What I know about motorcycles in general won'...

I just paid 1500$ for my first bike (94 Yamaha Virago), its in great shape!

no definitely not. I if were I'd probably be able to work on my car :( What's a resonable price then? New or used. From the posts I've read thus far, it's best to go with a used one. Insurance is a big factor as well. Guess I ought to work on taking the course, passing the exam and then focus on get...

got a point there..hence me $2000 is more than reasonable and workable.

Guess it's a matter of doing some homework and bringing an experienced rider along the day of purchase.

Well at least I'll be able to sit on some this coming bike show.

Thanks
