New here from San Diego

The name's Garrett. I don't have a bike yet, and have never ridden anything more powerful than my old GT BMX, but am simply here to absorb the culture and knowledge of riding and terminology.

I have a few friends who have been riding for years, one of whom has been through two Yamaha's (600 and liter) and just purchased a GSXR 750. I'm thinking more of a CBR for myself, sometime around this september when the prices drop a bit.

Anyway, I'll be asking a ton of questions so I hope everyone here likes answering them.

Hello Black96SVT, maybe while you're waiting/saving up, you can take the MSF course. Don't forget to include riding gear as part of your bike purchase. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks! I looked at the course and there's a center not ten minutes from my apartment. Will definitely take a beginner course for now and probably the advanced course in a year or so.
