Just dive in. The first time I rode a bike was when I backed my '99 GSXR out of my truck after I bought it. I stayed in the neighborhood for awhile before venturing out on the roads. I also spent some time with an experienced rider in a large empty parking lot but that was after quite a bit of seat time. Helped out a lot and I probably should've started there, but there's only so much instruction, you just have to ride and get comfortable.
I never took any formal instruction or obtained a license, and I've been riding for almost 15 years.

This.
But there's a bit more to it than that.Originally posted by BradMBut, just like condoms and women's rights, I don't believe in them.Originally posted by LeahIn other news: Brent's meat melts in your mouth.

ok, I should have said:
If you can ride a bicycle and you're not a woman, you can ride a motorcycle

i started off just getting a bike and learning on my own, i took the class a couple years after i started riding and wish i had done it first. plus if you have a M endorsement you can test ride bikes to get an idea of what you are most comfortable on

MSF and then parking lot and back roads.. a pitbike will teach you some basics but you need to learn emergency braking and handling on YOUR bike. I never rode, bought a zx6 and rode it around half a day in the neighborhood and learned quickly. the advice about riding with an experienced rider is worth its weight in gold - things like body positioning and riding lines are invaluable and hard to pick up on your own.
