Hey, good job getting your’ own bike at 16 !
That’s great that you took the MSF course. Shows good judgement.

With respect.
What is it with a few people predicting death and crashes upon new riders around here? That’s a motorcycle c**k block. LOL.
Even at 16, nobody but mom/dad and the law should tell you to park your’ bike.

$600 is a lot of money for a young gun just starting out. Probably wasn’t easy getting your’ bike in the first place?
Get yourself a DOT helmet, a leather or textile jacket, some decent gloves and ankle boots to start. Then work your’ way up as you can afford. Try E-bay for good deals.
I’m not recommending riding without gear on by any means. That asphalt hurts.
There’s not too many 16 year olds that sleep on a money mattress, doesn’t mean you can’t get into motorcycles.
