Buy this book
http://www.amazon.com/Proficient-Motorcycling-Ultimate-Guide-Riding/dp/1889540536 by just reading it you will be light years ahead of 85% of the riders out there It was recommended to me before I started. of course I bought a bike before I could get into MSF as there is months and months waiting list here and summer would be over by then ( stupid I know) Its not as replacement for the class but I can say without a doubt if I had not read this book I most likely would have crashed horribly or maybe even died in the first month 99% of what old salt "bikers" will tell you is wrong , many/most self taugh riders are totally ignorant of the physics of how a bike actally works |

Meh, do you like having short-term memory? A buddy of mine got in a low speed accident. Hit his head. It's not quite "coloring books for Christmas" but it's close. View Quote Did he have a full face helmet on? I wrecked at 55mph and my FFH is why I am here today. Otherwise at best I'd have had severe brain damage. In most instances it makes a difference. At higher speed impacts, prob not but that wasn't case for me. |

You'll suddenly realize that everybody around you on the road values that text they just got more than your life. Take a msf class and pay attention to everything, bikes are fun, just be aware of your surroundings. And check your mirrors if you brake. A soccer mom texting, tried to take me out. I stopped, she didnt. It hurt. But i had on all my gear, i really think the helmet saved my life that day. My head bounced off her hood. The brain bucket kept it safe. Be safe and have fun. View Quote This is the truth! Nobody pays any attention to what is around them, or how fast they may or may not be going. Get full gear, pants, jacket, gloves, helmet(full face) so that the skin you have stays on your body intact if you go down. Sounds stupid to ride a Harley with full gear and full face helmet but you will thank yourself when you go down. Can you drive a clutch operated car/truck? If so you shouldn't have much problem getting used to it. Buy a cheap starter bike, something 250cc for 500-1500$ and learn to ride it first. You can also decide if you really like riding so that if you dont like it you arent out of a bunch of money. I never took the MSF course and I picked it up pretty quick but I also do track events in my car so I already knew a lot about attacking corners and car control. |

I still have my MC endorsement but I quit street bikes several years ago. Mostly because people are nowhere near as attentive as drivers as they used to be (cell phones texting etc just basically don't care) and you almost always lose on a bike mixed with a bad cager. And I lost a few friends in accidents that were not their faults. I used to compete in Trials too but the younger guys got better and so now I only ride dirt bikes for fun...on dirt.
And I drive large vehicles on the street when I drive now. But it is a lot of fun to ride and I encourage it, but just be careful AND especially defensive. Head on a swivel so to speak. |

Take the MSF class and then look for an 800 Suzuki Intruder on craigslist. You can find a decent one for under $2,500.

The new Indian Scout looks like a nice route as well.
I'll have to check out a beginners course as it seems its popular... |

take the MSF course and get your license http://www.ridercourse.com/Motorcycle-License/Texas_Motorcycle_License.aspx
read lots of motorcycle magazine's and go to motorcycle shops to help zero in on what you like Motorcycles are nothing like cars: They have way more character and feel very different to ride from one to the next so you need to learn about the characteristics of the different engine types first and then from there you can start to zero in on what bike to get ( i.e. boxer, single, inline 3, inline 4, V twin, V four etc...) all feel and sound very different to ride i.e. There are V -Twin guys, inline- 4 guys, etc... for example a V-twin? ok.... but what type? sport bikes such as a ducati's have V-twin engines but they are set at a different angle and have far different characteristics than a cruiser V-twin do you want a sport bike , a cruiser, a sport tourer ?? something more vintage? etc.. Then get keith code's twist of the wrist read as much as you can |

Get a dirtbike and go out into the desert and ride it (or whatever the TX equivalent is). You'll learn valuable lessons. You'll become a better rider. Wear a helmet, riding boots, gloves, chest protector and have fun!

Quoted:
but I know nothing about them and I have never sat on one. What now? View Quote I used to ride quite a bit. 1977-2013. I stopped riding though. Here is my take on it. (1.) Bikes are far more powerful and a hell of a lot faster than they were 20-40 years ago so the level of skill needed to safely handle one has gone up. High end Sport Bikes in particular the Hayabusa (I used to ride a Hayabusa) is very unforgiving. Powerbands on in-line 4 cylinder bikes are geometric as opposed to linear with respect to engine RPMs. Making it easy for the bike to accelerate hard enough to overcome a rider's control. (2.) Riding and Road Conditions are completely different than they were 20 years ago (at least here in CA). Roads generally have more pot holes and hazards than they did in the past. Car Drivers are far more aggressive AND most importantly DISTRACTED (from texting, taking selfies while driving, watching their GPS screens even watching TV or something on their iPads. This has resulted in me experiencing far more close calls than I did in the past. In a span of 5 years I've had more close calls than I did in the previous 20 years. 3 of these were miraculous in nature, 1 especially so. I am not trying to scare you away from riding, but I do want to lay it out there of what it's like today. This is what you will be facing when riding. No matter how good you are (and I am a extremely good rider) it is a matter of time before you crash. There are times when there is literally nothing you can do, no way you can avoid it. This is what happened to me in 2009. I saw it coming, and my choice was to crash into the side of a BMW or let the Beamer push me over the double yellow line into oncoming traffic. I couldn't break any harder without skidding which would make me lose control and traction. There was nothing I could do, but stand up on my foot pegs and say "Oh Shit". I crashed and flew into an intersection doing 50 MPH. Landed on the right side of my head and slid. (I High Sided) Not sure how high I flew, but I did fly most of the way through the middle of the intersection. There was nothing I could do. The bitch of a driver caused the accident and was found guilty. What saved me was (1.) I bought the best Full Face Helmet I could find, (2.) I had Body Armor, (3.) I had really good armored leathers (Gloves, Jacket, Racing Boots) in addition to a back protector strapped underneath my jacket. But I digress...if you really really want to get into riding. You will need to determine whether or not you want a Sport Bike or a Cruiser (there are almost no more Standard Bikes anymore). These two bikes handle very very differently. The sport bike is superior in terms of control, acceleration, cornering, and stopping. They both ride very differently and have completely different limitations. There is another class: The Touring Bike and the Sport Tourer. Depending upon which you get, once you start riding, the culture of the types of riders is as different as night and day. Route choices are different, and of different lengths depending upon the type of bike you get, your stamina (yes you get very tired from the wind, even just the mental concentration wears you out). IF YOU GET TIRED - STOP!!! DO NOT EVER LOSE YOUR CONCENTRATION AND SITUATIONAL AWARENESS!!! It is best if you take a riding course for beginners on safely handling a bike. If you choose to go the sport bike route you will want to take an additional course at a Superbike School (NOTE: TRACK RIDING IS NOT THE SAME AS RIDING ON THE ROAD. TRACKS ARE A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT, ROADS ARE NOT DO NOT RACE ON THE ROAD. KEEP IT FOR THE TRACK) A good school to learn how to corner and ride fast is http://www.superbikeschool.com/ Get a bike that isn't too powerful to learn on BUY THE BEST HELMET, LEATHERS AND ARMOR out there DON'T GO CHEAP. YOUR LIFE WILL DEPEND ON YOUR GEAR WHEN (NOT IF) YOU CRASH. IF TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN A $500 DOLLAR HELMET AND A $900 DOLLAR HELMET ASK YOURSELF IF YOUR LIFE IS WORTH THE EXTRA $400 Learn how to ride safely. When you are ready, get a bigger, more powerful bike. Good Sport Bike Mfrs: Suzuki, BMW, Kawasaki, Honda Good Cruisers: Go Japanese (Suzuki, Kawasaki) or get a Victory (Harley's are expensive pieces of CRAP that always breakdown and parts and maintenance is really expensive. Harleys vibrate like hell and their backend's shimmy and handle like CRAP) The only thing Harley has going for it: is Marketing - that is it. IF you want something more expensive than a Harley but only marginally better but all of the mystique: you can get an Indian. But both Harley's and Indians have completely outdated engine and suspension designs. IF you like something a little more exotic but can still only afford a factory bike - Triumph Thunderbird and the Triumph Rocket are really good cruisers Beyond that for Cruising Bikes: there are Custom Bike Builders. IF you want a really good long range touring bike that you can ride all day without getting tired (we're talking 400 mile trips here) a Honda Goldwing is the way to go. They aren't built as nice as a BMW, but they are more comfortable in my opinion, and for such a wide bike, they are surprisingly nimble and handle really well. Ever split lanes on a Honda Gold Wing? I have. (Lane Splitting is Legal in CA, and illegal in most other states, however it is actually safer in most situations) Keep your distance from cars When coming up to a red light, move over to the side of the lane, so if some yo yo driving a truck behind you isn't paying attention to what is in front of him, there will be a chance that he will miss you. Always plan out an escape route while riding. This is constantly changing with the traffic. So many things... Best of Luck |

Once you've got your bike and some experience, take the advanced MSF course. This is pretty much the same thing as the beginner course, but now you ride the course on your bike. The MSF bikes are typically 125cc on/off road bikes. They're small and light and don't handle like anything you want to ride. Plus, they'll remind you of all the stuff you forgot from the first class. |

Quoted: IF TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN A $500 DOLLAR HELMET AND A $900 DOLLAR HELMET ASK YOURSELF IF YOUR LIFE IS WORTH THE EXTRA $400 View Quote There has actually been some articles lately that some of the less stringent ( and cheaper) DOT and EU approved helmets are actually better for street riding than the Snell stuff as Snell standards are for racing helmets and as such their foam is appreciably harder/denser as they are designed to be as small/light as possible and to deal with higher speeds and greater impacts wereas the DOT stuff the foam is softer/larger and the helmet themselves are larger so the forces on the head in normal sub 100mph crashes is actually lower than with a Snell approved helmet That said I prefer a smaller lighter helmet myself and have a Shoei but to say a $1000 Shoei or and Arai provides better protection than a $300 Nolan is bullshit , they may be lighter but thats about it |

Quoted: I've filled my tank on my pickup one time since May after buying a little Kawasaki KL250G. It's been great commuting and going offroad and back roads. It's the first time I've been on a bike in 25 years and it's small size and limited HP doesn't bother me a bit. I have a stretch of highway in my commute where the speed limit is 70mph and in a strong headwind I have to go chin to the handlebars, but most days 75 mph is easy upright. I hit 84mph the other day with a tailwind going down hill. I felt like Chuck Yeager! I'll pick up something a little bigger next year for the highway, but I like the fuel economy of the little thumper and i'll keep it to play on. I get around 55mpg on my commute, but on the backroads I get more like 70 mpg.

My Dirt bike has a Plate, KTM 530 XC-w, Electric start to boot.
Dirt skills are developed fast and usually no cages to kill you. Street only guys when a front tire slips, or the rear end kicks out they go down, Dirt bike guys deal with that all the time, so in some ways it could save an accident(although street bikes are loads heavier). Hard acceleration, and wind in the face does give a sense of freedom, gets me every time when I nail the throttle!! Have fun, and remember... Head on a swivel, don't let a cage wreck your day. |

View Quote There is truth in this. I cut out a lot of my trips and in-the-city riding after the kids. Driving in traffic sucks because a lot of your options for aggressive riding or escape routes are taken away. Bikes are great when they don't have to play by car rules on the cars penned-in turf. But there is also truth in driving defensively. Humans have that primal 'hunt or be hunted' deep inside, and it is fun to wake up those senses, and they come alive on a motorcycle. Hard to explain. "You pay your money and take your chances." I have a big life insurance policy, and if I am taken out, at least my family will know it was doing something I enjoyed, after 10k's of miles. No one gets out alive anyway. P.S. the Keith Code books, "A twist of the wrist" as mentioned earlier are excellent, it made me a better cage driver as well. |
