I've been lurking on this site for a while and just bought a 9 less than a month ago. Funny thing, I had never been on a bike before.
I imagine it's kind of like getting a thoroughbred for your first horse.
This may be the only site I can post this without fear of ridicule:
"I started riding because I liked the look of the M109."
I know I'm not alone because every week, one or two folks join the site who state that this is their first bike.
In the motorcycle safety course they provided a Honda 250 for me to ride.
Nice, but it's not the same as riding a 9.
I did a search and did not see a thread for new riders so I thought I'd start one. There is a thread for Low cost Mods, and FAQs, but nothing specific to how to ride the 9 safely.
This could be a safe place for noobs like me to ask questions, share experiences and hear from the more experienced riders who have already been there, done that.
What do you guys think?
Especially if you are a newbie like me , don't leave me hangin', share your thoughts.
