We want newbs. Hell if it wasn't for TWF I wouldn't of started out on a SV and worked my way up to the rider I am today. I want to educate people and teach them the right ways to get into this world. Let's not run em off to kill themselves. However, we can only help the ones that want to listen. Darwin helps us here.

It's only a matter of time before you wreck, you better be prepared, and buy a solo seat bike.

The day you come back from a ride and say "I didn't learn anything today" is the day to park the bike. I've been riding for 43 years and always learn SOMETHING when I ride, no matter how small...either about the bike or my skills. Even when you run out of talent and toss it, you at least found out where your limit is.

There are two types of riders: Those who have been down, and those who will be down. Don't buy a brand new bike at first because it will hurt you a lot more to drop that than an old beater.

Hey now. Everyone on here has been a newbie at one time. Nobody gets on a motorcycle and can ride like Rossi from day 1. Heck I considered myself a newbie for almost 2 years, and that was with almost 20,000 miles under my belt.

As was mentioned in this thread already, i'm always learning new skills or practicing old skills. Motorcycling is an ongoing process. As my sig says, motorcycling is like playing chess. Anyone can learn the moves, but it takes a lifetime to master the game.

TRUTH!


but NtS's post was VERY sarcastic... he just doesn't believe in smilies

Taking the MSF course was the best thing I could have done.

My husband taught me in a parking lot and I had very little confidence...after completing the class I felt so great about my abilities. :beers:

The whole wearing gear thing was an always thing for me...I like my skin! :yes:
