Hey there all. 27, married, male

Just bought my first bike today, a well pampered '00 Ninja 500r with 8400 miles.

I've ridden for a total of 4 hrs now. My first 1/2hr was on an '02 CBR F4i. It was fun, but after reading some threads on here, I decided to go the slow bike route to learn on. After some practice today I can do tight u-turns, slalom, shift semi-smoothly, brake safely, etc. I will be attending a riding course very soon to make myself safer. I hope to follow that up with a track course, experience, and 600ccs of goodness.

Picked up a KBC vr2r helmet, Alpinestar gloves, and a new rear tire today.

What is a good magnetic tank bag to hold stuff? (I found out today that I REALLY need one!)

Oh yeah, I just moved to Florida from the SF Bay Area last year. This state has the worst drivers that I've ever seen!

Here's the little monster!

 

Welcome to KF.

 

Sounds like you have a good plan.

 

I use a small cortech tank bag with good results.
