Top 10 Things to Expect for Beginner riders.

You're going to drop the bike at least once.
You're going to be nervous for a while.
You're going to get frustrated.
You're going to hear "crash" stories from non-riders, whether you like it or not.
You're going to get advice from others, whether you want it or not.
You're going to realize at some point that you're not wearing properly fitting gear (sunglasses that make your eyes water, gloves that are too bulky, etc.).
You're going to struggle with how to manage a new hairstyle called "helmet hair." (if you have any)
You're going to spill gasoline all over the tank at least once.
You're going to realize riding your own motorcycle is cooler than you ever imagined.
You're going to find yourself smiling a lot more. ;) :)

Top 10 Things to Expect for Beginner riders.

You're going to drop the bike at least once.........Do it the 1st week to get it over with.
You're going to be nervous for a while............need more saddle time.
You're going to get frustrated...............take a time out.
You're going to hear "crash" stories from non-riders, whether you like it or not..........................listen to personal accounts from survivors and disregard the rest.
You're going to get advice from others, whether you want it or not...............not all advice is good, Read Proficient Motorcycling first.
You're going to realize at some point that you're not wearing properly fitting gear (sunglasses that make your eyes water, gloves that are too bulky, etc.)................ill fitting gear should be given to less fortunate riders that may be the right fit.
You're going to struggle with how to manage a new hairstyle called "helmet hair." (if you have any)........a do-rag works.
You're going to spill gasoline all over the tank at least once.......been there done that.
You're going to realize riding your own motorcycle is cooler than you ever imagined..........this will likely pi** off the inlaws

Sometimes I just can't leave well enough alone and need to comment from personal experience or bust.
