Remember a little bit of fear will keep you safe.

Hi and Welcome, I hope you enjoy you're new bike, be careful and have fun out there.

Hi, today I rode my bike for the first time and it really was awesome!:D I know I am really new in this business, I can only go up to the 2nd gear since it's my first time riding a bike but even that blew my mind. I was mindlessly smiling all the time:)

@mogster, thanks for the advice. I will keep it in mind.

And here are some photos of my ride...







Stay safe and have fun!:)

riseandfall to the Total Motorcycle forum!!

That is SO awesome! You are going to have such a great time on your first bike, life will change for you in a great way and you'll never look at a stretch of road on a beautiful sunny day the same after tomorrow.

BTW - Your photos didn't seem to be working, try posting them in the TMW photo Gallery and linking them to your message. OR do that and start up a Motorcycle Blog in our Motorcycle Blog Forum.

Hi right back to you and welcome to TMW.

After reading the above post, I was wondering if you've taken any training courses on Motorcycle riding? There are a lot of schools out there and every minute of professional instruction is worth it. If you haven't taken a course, please consider it, for you and your family's sake...

@totalmotorcycle thanks, when I have more time I will do that and you are totally right I don't see the roads same as before:)

@dr_bar I have signed up for a driver's course but in my country it is not as elaborate as it is in yours. They just give you a 40 minute ride on a scooter and say that you are good to go:S So, I bought my bike before earning my drivers license(I will get my license by the end of july. ) in order to get as much experience off the traffic as I can before they certify me traffic worthy:D Right now I'm driving in a parking lot with the help of one of my friends and try to safely cover as much topics as I can. Aside from that there are courses given by honda here, 2 days for professional riding I'm thinking of signing up for one of those but right now I don't have neither the money nor the experience required to go there. So all in all I'm in your care, if you have any advice that you think would make me a better and a safer driver please share it, I'd appreciate it. Many many thanks in advance.

Take care and stay safe:)

P.S: Sorry if my english is a little rough sometimes. It's not my native language.

If money is tight and schools inadequate, try a book by David L Hough - "Proficient Motorcycling" (The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well) Good luck and remember to wear, ATGATT (All The Gear, All The Time)
