Buy a used KLX to learn on.......wait there are no used ones because nobody ever gives this awesome bike up after they get it. But seriously you should get a Dual Sport bike first, learn to ride off road and on road will come naturally. I think everyone should learn off road first, kind of like driving a car with a clutch, you learn that and you're good to go.

BOUGHT IT! WOOOO! Well kind of. I went and looked at it. It is in good shape and rides fantastic (according to my experienced rider friend). He told me it shifts real smooth, so smooth in fact that he commented that it shifted smoother then his own bike (triumph daytona 955i). Anyway, the owner of this bike said he should receive the title in the next week or two. I told him I would show up with cash when he receives the title and take it home. I cantttttt WAIT!

Good luck with your bike and remember ATGATT. It stands for All The Gear All The Time. Even when you practice you should wear a helmet, a jacket with CE approved armor in the shoulders, back and elbows, gloves, skid-resistant pants and over the ankle boots. Don't look like a Squid!

Stay safe.

thanks alot Bill! I will be safe. Before I ride I'm going to make sure and go out to buy all the appropriate safety gear. As soon as I get my M license I'll shoot you an e-mail or pm to go for a ride.


Thanks

Definately take the MSF course. And don't try to learn everything too fast. Chances are, you'll probably dump that bike at least once, so make sure you are well protected.

And wear proper gear, please. Don't be a
