Default Got some advice? Im new here, and just bought my first bike!

Hey all! In new. This is my first post. I just bought my first bike, and I can’t remember that last time I was this exited. It’s a 1997 Ninja ZX-6. Now, I don’t have my M class yet, and I’m a little nervous. Is the test hard? I herd its tougher here in Illinois.Any advice you guys could give me on what to practice? I have no idea what to expect. The school I’m going through supplies you with little 150cc bikes for the test which is pretty cool. Anyways, thanks for any help. Talk toyou guys later!

Hey kibara! Defiantely take the class. I had never ridden a bike in my life and I just finished my class this past weekend. They go step-by-step on how to check your bike, sit on your bike, ride your bike, etc. You'll gain confidence since you'll have a unbiased and professional trainer (with tons of patience) to teach you...and you use their bike. So if you crash at least it's on regulated turn and not on yours. hehe ^.~ It's really not hard as long as you follow instructions and don't go foolin' around during class you'll do great! IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FRIKKIN' FUN WHEN YOU LEARN WITHOUT BEING FRUSTRATED!!!
