Re: First Bike!

Congrats, Dan. Where you at?

I'm sure I speak for most of us on the list when I say "take the
class" - the MSF training class, that is (or if you're lucky enough
to live in Oregon or Idaho, their [reportedly] superior classes).
Also pick up a copy of Proficient Motorcycling and/or More Proficient
Motorcycling by hazard-avoidance guru David Hough. Lots of motorcycle
stores carry it, or support MY local publication/online store, Sound
Rider (www.soundrider.com).

And read AND MEMORIZE every tip on this list:

...there will be a test... :)

Also, wear clean underwear, be kind to dogs and your mother, and
never touch a monkey (unless it asks you to).

And fer gawd's sake, man, have FUN!

Cheers,
Bob
