Hey you looked pretty good there!  Glad to see you have all the gear on.

Now, get signed up for the Motorcycle Safety class!  You won't believe how much you will learn in 2 days.  swerving, braking, cornering, & turning around in a very small space.  You will be suprised at how much you learn.  I've ridden quite a fair amount, & definitely learned a few things.

Good riding!

John.

Haha wow no way, I have that same jacket!  Lol, the guy I bought my GS from said it clashed with the color of his new BMW, so he threw that in too, though it's a tad bit big on me.  Not bad for a first time out, hah, my first time, uh, I could not get the clutch to engage for the life of me, and my dad really didn't do a good job of explaining that you can let the clutch out only half way and still use gas.  That was, two weeks ago?  Keep up the good work, though!

nice i got my jacket from a riding friend of my dad who bought a ktm, it clashed and was too small for him

What is that big white inflated looking building in the background?

Hmm, I'm guessing an indoor field of some kind?  There's a golf driving dome like that down on Neville Island.

Here in CA, you have to be 15-1/2.  My son turns 15 this month, he's already itchin to learn to ride.  I'm not a cool enough dad to buy him a bike as nice as yours though!  He'll get my hand-me down TW200...  Though he was eyeing a Ninja 250 the other day.

Sounds good, thanks Pavi.
