New Rider in Oakland

#1 Unread post by xenex11 »

Hey Everybody.

I'm 31, and a grad student at SFSU. I just got an 82 Honda 250cc CM with 6k original miles for a little less than $1k. I plan to ride the bike back and forth to the train station as part of my commute.

I'm trying to sign up for thr MSF course, but there's about a 3 month waiting list here. So I'm just taking laps around my neighborhood everyday for 30mins to an hour.

I'd like to get my liscence first, but I still plan to do the MSF asap. Every experienced rider I've talked to says its well worth it.

I'm here to learn from the wisdom of all you experienced riders.

So, thanks for answering my noobie questions!
