New rider... bought a bike... haven't ridden yet!!

Hi all, a brief introduction:

Took the MSF last summer, and now I finally bought a bike... a pristine black '09 250r w/ 630 miles for $2500 Registration is good to go, insurance is good to go.

I haven't enjoyed the beautiful summer weather yet because a lack of gear! I am a poor (/cheap) college student, so I purchased closeout gear online. I am mainly waiting for my helmet to come in before I think about taking her out.

Until then, I will remain a caged bird

If anyone bothered to read this, feel free to leave any words of wisdom for a new rider!

Welcome! Best advice I can give you is stay alert, drive defensively and when riding, prepare yourself for the cagers to do the dumbest thing possible. That way you are ready when they do it(and some of them will). It sounds like you already understand about the importance of the proper riding gear. Cheers! And have fun!

Chi-Town, welcome! Cruise some parking lots for shifting/braking and cornering refreshers then just ride familiar areas. Take your time, you've got it and remember, YOU ARE INVISIBLE out there on the road. Peace out!
