Do yourself a huge favor and get David Hough's books on Proficient Motorcycling and MOST IMPORTANT his Street Strategies. This one is a must for someone who is a real newbie. You can get killed or worst(paralized) from no fault of yours. You have got to be aware of the many REALLY STUPID auto drivers who "see you but don't see you". Also the other post is very, very true; Dress for the crash and not the ride. A beanie helmet is for bean heads. I am 70 years old, but have been riding (not continuously) for 35 years. Been knocker out, cracked a rib, a other stuff (motocross racing); if it were not for the full coverage helmet, I may well not be typing this note now.
Just my $0.02.
