I know I already replied to this, but it's not showing - weird! But anyway, Welcome! What color did you get? And what kind of gear have you gotten while waiting for the MSF?

well its metallic black 2009. I have helmet, gloves and jacket for now. My state doesn't require gear. I don't know how they feel safe enough to ride with shorts and t-shirt...

If you have a drive way or live on a closed street you could practice getting used to clutch. You want to find that zone where it starts to engage the engine. Good choice on gear even if not required. I had a rock hit my visor yesterday and I could only begin to imagine how much that would have hurt without a helmet. |
