So I know there is plenty of info in the Random Thoughts thread, but it's all spaced out, so I thought I'd make a thread dedicated for new riders.
I, having just gotten my license, have a few questions.
What's a good bike to start out with?
I'm a poor college student, so I've been looking at old Honda CBs, CJs, Suzuki TSs and things of the sort. The more info I have the better off I'll feel about diving into purchasing a bike.
Also... I have no gear.
I was looking at HJC CL-16 helmets today. They seem to fit nice and are reasonably priced ($160)
I was also looking at the Basic MC Jacket (leather) from River Road. It's pretty cool looking, but I know very little about anything to do with gear.
What else will I need? Boots? Gloves? Pants?
Perhaps I'll update this first post with more info as it's given to me; that way we have a complete resource for new riders.
