Welcome to the forum.

What do you want to know?

If you're feeling a little nervous being a newb on the street, maybe an MSF course would help with that.

Welcome to the forum! Do you have your cert yet? Did you take the MSF course? My best advice (and the prevailing opinion on this message board) would be: don't be a squid! All gear, all the time. Ride safe brother, and enjoy your time here.

MSF course was worth every cent to me. And I deff agree with JBear all gear all the time. Dress for the slide not the ride. Good luck keep the rubber down
