pre-ride checks?

I just got my first bike a few weeks ago, and was wondering what kind of regular checks I should be doing.

i usually just check my tirecondition and pressure. if you keep up on maintainence then you will allways know the condition and readyness of your bike.

I do the air, oil, tire pressure, brake fluid, coolant, chain lube/tightness drill. I do the same thing to my jeep (except sub the chain for belts) before I take it out.

T-CLOC -- Now let's see if I can remember that MSF class material: T=Tires C=Cables L=Lights and electric O=Oil and fluids C=Chain. Think I got it right. I'll check and see for you and me.
