welcome to CBRf and the world of 2 wheels.
take it very slow and make sure you dont pop the clutch...
look in the phone book for the motorcycle courses you can take in your area.
thats the best tip i can give you.

if you have internet..and it looks like you do. search for available MSF Courses in your area. start there. best bet is to spend the money to take the class. they will get you on a motorcycle and teach you everything you need to know and how to ride. then you can decide before spending a few thousand dollars on a bike if a motorcycle is right for you. best of luck and welcome aboard!

Welcome Gatito, defiently take the msf course its worth every penny. I have been riding bikes off and on for years and after that class I realized I didn't know much about anything. You will learn alot within those two days plus a little discount on insurance is always nice.
