I do post it constantly. Like I have said before, it is a single page of all the information I wish someone had given to ME when I was learning to ride. I had so many questions and had no clue where to begin.

All I wanted was a simple guide to say, "Do this first. Do this second. Do this third." and explain the whole process. Nothing like that existed. So I made it myself. I'm glad so many people find it useful.
[b]Are you a beginner rider?
Have a lot of questions about motorcycling?
Not sure what bike to start with?

you can still kill yourself w/ a 250.

im not saying to get a bigger bike. im just hoping you were really really kidding when you said the reason you want a 250 is to avoid killing yourself.
Yes I was kidding! :P I just want to find a bike with less power for me to get used to the speed.

[hijack] put me on the mailing list for that .pdf when you finish it! [/hijack]

As for beginner bikes,
what type of bike are you looking for? cruiser? standard? sport?
cruisers- can go bigger cc's becasue they dont have crazy throttles like sports.
standards- like the ninja 250/500 are good
sports- the suzuki haybusa 1300 or a gsx-r1000, but only if you have flip-flops and a "Corona" tank top or dirty wife beater (think k-fed) to wear as safety gear when you ride it.

...dont listen to me, i dont know what im talking about.
