What do you need to do when first buying a motorcycle?

The training courses that are offered at colleges and issue you your license are some of the best reccomendations you can get. Take your time with the size of your first bike. It's better to start small than to have to much power to learn how to control. Always drive defensively and be acutely aware of what is going on around you at all times. It is a great sport to get involved in so don't forget, Have fun!
