New Guy From SoCal
Just bought a pretty clean 600 F2 with 15k miles. The previous owner took really good care of it, he builds race quads and does motorcycle repair/ maintenance for other people. I live in Hemet , Riverside county. I drove all the way to San Luis Obispo with my homie to pick it up. Its my first bike. Im planning on getting my permit next week or so and on taking a MSF course. Ive ridden quads but never any two wheeled bikes. Any tips on what kind of area I should start to learn to ride?

Hi and welcome aboard!
First time rider? Pay heed to what Classic mentioned and take it easy.
Motorcycle riding isn't for everybody and you can get yourself in a bit of trouble real quick on the street.
Be safe and keep the rubber on the ground!
Oh, and sweet F2 looks all original
