Newbie!
'ello everyone! My name is Mike Riley. I am completely new to this. I currently reside in ohio and I'm waiting to take the MSF class at AD Furrow Harley Davidson... I've never had a motorcycle before and I'm extremely pumped to learn. With that I am also in the market for a used bike. Something that i can start and learn on. I'd like to pay less than $2000... any suggestions about anything would be more than appreciated! I'll need all the help i can get from experienced riders. I want to do this right so I don't end up on the side of the road hurt somewhere. Thanks everyone and its nice to meet you!

Mike, welcome to the forum. If you check the stickys at the top you should find a list of approved beginers bikes. Try to start with something under 50 hp and 500lbs. Good luck.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Hi Mike
Welcome to the forums.
As johnj said, take a look at the stickies. There's plenty there to think about, then come back with any questions.
Stick around and enjoy!
