What kinda bike you looking to get?SS or cruiser or streetfighter or sport touring? I suggest you start small if you never ride a bike before. Insurance gonna be cheap and you're less likely to injure yourself.Once you feel confident on the small bike, move up to something bigger.

Bad roads, weather conditions, animals, pedestrians, even strange things cagers might do that put you in a dangerous situation.....etc. Just some things to help fellow bikers be safe on the roads.
Ride safe bros.

wear your helmet, dont rest it on your head with your entire face and sides of your head exposed.........its not going to help you if you go down with it like that. saw a guy riding an R1 in traffic yesterday like that......

ek4ever wrote:cacasplat3....oh so that's what that is...saw a guy wearing one. What do you suggest other than mesh. Haven't really looked at the jacket but the thing is damned heavy....outer surface feels like mesh though...but it's seriously thick
