New rider from TN

chemist · March 30th, 2015, 05:27 AM

Hey guys!

Got my ninja 300 2013SE in march after passing the MSF course. I have put about 800 miles(commuter) on it now and finally somewhat comfortable but a healthy fear too.

Hoping to find a good riders course at a track or something to help further my safety.

Welcome Jonathan, where in Tn. Are you located? Also congratulations on taking the MSF course, you are on the right track, as you've done the first step, here are just a few things to think about,

1.Get trained and licensed MSF Courses

2.ALWAYS Wear protective gear -- ATGATT All The Gear, All The Time -- including a helmet manufactured to the standards set by a government agency.

3.ALWAYS Ride unimpaired by alcohol or other drugs

4.ALWAYS Ride within your own skill limits

5.Be a lifelong learner by taking refresher rider courses, and advanced rider course A.R.C

I am located south of nashville but have made my way across several boarding states while "bicycle racing"

Appreciate the advice! Been ATGATT 24/7 even for a 5 minute grocery run. I am amazed at perforated leather. I can't wait to try it out in warmer weather as it is a bit cold below 60F (amazing stuff).

Looking into ARC and hopefully some track school classes. That and reading motofool's links
