Hey All,

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Greg and I am a 47 year old man, married to a wonderful lady for almost 25 years! We have two boys (19 and 13) and live in North Carolina.

I'm considering taking the plunge and plan on signing up for a MSF course at a local community college this summer. Right now I'm thinking along the lines of a used 500 Ninja as a first bike, though that may well change after I take the course.

I just wanted to say "hi" and thanks to the folks who have posted such great information that I have read as a lurker! For the time being, at least, you'll most likely find me on the "New Biker" and "Safety" forums.

Well, that's it for now. Thanks again, folks!

Howdy Greg.

howdy. the 500cc ninja should be just fine. that's what i used in the basic rider's course and it was pretty easy to control once i got the hang of the throttle--it was kinda jerky at first because it was very sensitive, but was very smooth by the end of the course.
