hello all. i'm new to the boards and new to bike riding. i haven't bought my bike yet, but i will have it by the end of the week. a buddy of mine is selling me his 2001 CBR600 and i can't wait to get it. i don't take my riding class until next month, but that's ok. i'll just mess around with it in my driveway and in my cul de sac if i'm feeling adventurous....lol. anyway, i just wanted to introduce myself here and i'll post a pic of the bike when i get it.

Nice bike man, keep it clean. Good luck on your course and make sure to get some gear. Getting to know your bike in your culdesac is a good idea that way you don't go to the course with no experience at all. Just take it slow. Ride safe, let us know how you did with the course.

i had my first ride today on my bike. it was great! after about 5 mins of being a little wobbly, i got the hang of it. i kept it nice and slow. i didn't even go past 2nd gear...lol. i was in aschool parking lot. a buddy of mine who lives in my subdivision rode it there for me. now since i can stay upright a bit, i will ride through my subdivision to get more comfortable with it.
