Jesus,please do yourself a favor and put an inflatable bubble around yourself and the motorcycle so when you fasll you won't kill yourself.

On a serious note;Take your time learning and enjoy it.Too many people want to be Ricky Racer these days and don't realize the enjoyment that comes out of learning little things at a slow pace.Be mature and ride like your invisible to others,and you'll be just fine.

i just got out of the hospital a few days ago, take it from me.... be careful, take it slow, get comfortable with things, and have fun.

just ride safe bro.


remember, most the times its not ourselves we need to worry about, its EVERYONE ELSE on the road. In my case, a lady drivng the oposite direction that i was, took a left in front of me and i hit her literally head first, and i had to wake up in the hospital a few days later.

not to scare you, but just watch your back.
