<<< Official SBN Welcome
If you're REALLY serious about hearing advice from some older and experienced riders than good on you.
First. Take the MSF
Get good gear and wear it.
Read all of the "stickies" in the New Rider Forum.
and DON'T start your journey on a high strung 600 or larger bike.
Riding and racing MX is great for teaching you how to handle the controls of a bike, but does virtually nothing for teaching you how to ride a street bike.
When I started street riding way back when, there was no internet or Forums for me to go to, to get any advice. I don't want to sound like a preachy old man, but I had to learn the HARD way and suffered the crashes to prove it.Use the tools that are freely given and learn from them.
You will recieve good and bad advice on here. Pay attention to whos telling you what. You'll get the picture.
Good luck and let us know how you make out.
BE SAFE and HAVE FUN
