Noob to the site and to the bike scene

Just want to say what's up to all. Just purchased a '98 VTR 1000 (fixer upper) which I'm hoping to have it going by summer. This is my first street bike but I've been learning how to ride on a friends GSXR. I've been doing the show car scene for a few years and this would be a good addition to my hobbies. See you guys around the site and please excuse my noob questions - Ruben

Re: Noob to the site and to the bike scene

I would suggest taking your local MSF course. It is a great course and you can use their bikes in case you drop their bike it is okay. Our local MSF course used to have old 250 cruiser style bikes, but i drove by yesterday and it looked they all had brand new BMW bikes. I know one of the head guys in charge was big BMW guy.

From what I have seen on TV it may have been better to get a jet ski
