I have been interested in motorcycles for a couple years now. I first got my temporary permit in June 06 and was hoping to take a motorcycle course but got sidetracked. I recently got my temp permit renewed and am set to take a MSF beginner rider course at the end of May when I get out of college for the summer.

I have been trolling this website for 2 weeks now and have read every article and just want to thank BBM for all the great reviews and information.

I wasn’t sure about what gear I had to buy(because I have seen riders with only a helmet and thought that was ok) before reading the reviews but am now certain that I will purchase a helmet, jacket, gloves, pants, and boots when I buy my first motorcycle (which will be 500cc and under ).

Hey Marshy/Gabe!

Glad to hear that this site has helped you out! I was the exact same way when I first got into motorcycles, I had no idea about gear and I wanted my first bike to be a CBR 1000 RR because I thought it “looked the coolest’. I’m glad that I didn’t have enough money to buy the bike right away because my boredom made me research everything I could about motorcycles and thats when I found out that I should be wearing gear and starting on a small bike.

I was pretty skeptical that a 500 would be enough, but damn, that thing was mighty quick when I bought it! It was a GS500 and it was a lot to handle at first. I must have killed it a dozen times trying to drive to a parking lot a block away to practice. Really fun bike though, a blast to ride in the twisties.

Keep us posted on how your motorcycle journey unfolds!
