Advice for new riders? Take your MSF course (or local equivalent). And wear your gear!! Yes, it's hot, and no, it may not be as cute as booty jeans and a tank top... but face it, you won't be so cute covered in road rash, so gear up!

Advice for new riders? God, I AM a new rider. I want everyone else's advice. The only thing I can say is I like riding with other women, because we are less likely to be competetive, and therefore more likely to back down instead of taking stupid risks. So stick to your instincts girls, don't push past your limits, and we'll all make it through to ride another season.
How did you find CBR Forums? Just cruisin the net.
And please, feel free to include a picture of you (and your ride!) so we can put a face with the name! Sorry, don't have any on this puter, I'll try to get one up soon.

 

Oh yeah, and please don't be offended by my avatar. Maybe not in the best of taste, but kinda cute, and funny anyways. Besides, we all know that boys can't help staring at chicks on bikes, so it goes along with that. Lol.

 

Ha, right on Mandy. Welcome to the site. Be careful on that thing! That bike is nuts, take it easy girl. Advice for ya, like you've said don't push your limits. They expand over time enjoy what you're doing and just have fun.
