So I told my sister first off to get advice.
Her fiance was on the other end (we were talking by phone) and the first thing he said was 'Dont' get a busa!' which kind of surprised me because you always hear about people who don't ride saying the exact opposite.
Anyways my sister wasn't too happy about it but she said it's my money and I can do what I want. She also proceeded to lecture me about how she knows people who died on motorcycles (didn't see that one coming

She then proceeded to inform me that I should wear a helmet and full gear, all the time. To which I said that I plan to and she then informed me that if she ever hears of me riding without full gear, she will personally drive the six hours down to kick my "O Ring".

She was very surprised to learn that I had actually taken the MSF (it's normally not my style to actually prepare for something) and annoyed that I've been licensed for a year and haven't told her until just a while ago.
So 1 down, 2 to go. Wish me luck.
And any pointers? I've read most of them from other topics but I may as well ask.
