I'm a new rider and I had a lot of questions. I have to say that this site really helped me. In fact, it quickly became my #1 source of information. I picked up my Stryker on Saturday and wanted to extend my thanks to the entire community.

I know myself well enough to say that I won't be the most active newbie around here. I prefer meeting people face-to-face, so I tend to be a lurker on forums. I figured the least I can do for a site that helped me so much is to add myself to its official membership count. Who knows? Maybe after I get some more riding experience, I'll show up for one of the IL meets.

So far, every newbie question I've had has already been asked and answered. If I come up with anything new, I'll make sure to ask so the next newbie won't have to. Until then, it's time for me to fade back into the background.

Again, thanks everyone!

Did I mention I'm a new rider? Aside from the MSF course and DMV test.... I've done exactly 3 miles of riding. I'll be happy to share my experiences.... Once I have some ;D

Three months ago I was in the same boat as you. I had just finished the MSF course and rode my first miles. I started off in the school parking lot across the street, then the 25mph residential roads around me, and now I have about 500 miles under my belt and am pretty comfortable with everything except the interstate (still working on the comfort level there). Just be careful not to let anyone talk you into anything you aren't comfortable with and talk to other responsible riders when you have questions.

Also, you will become addicted in a hurry....enjoy.

Welcome from Fort Valley, Ga. I had to take a rider safety course to be able to ride on base. Even though i've spent a large portion of my life on motorcycles I learned a lot and recommend it for newbies and old timers alike.
