I second taking the safety course.
I also agree that getting the feel of your brakes is important, just don't get
too aggressive with it, especially the front, as it can toss you off pretty
quickly if you brake on an imperfect surface or in a turn.
Start thinking defensive driving, your not in a

Hi All!
Got my temps, insurance, tags
Oh yea, stay relaxed. The bike will from time to time do things that don't feel
safe like when you get a wind gust from the side. Stay relaxed and don't tense
up and just go with it. Learning to trust your tires is a really hard part and
that only comes from riding. I've seen guys with years of
The most difficult thing for me to learn/accept , (still difficult!) is that
it will tip in a turn to unbelievable angles (to me!) without sliding out from

Any one interested in a good working 1983 cb750sc bike restored and runs
good color black pictures to follow asking price $1600.00 extra clutch
assembly (assembled) ,carberator assembly (not assembled), 2 extra starter
relays. New starter relay, recent tires plus the bike has only 13000 or
14000
And I can't stress reading a copy of Proficient Motorcycling it is under
$10 new from amazon. They did a 2nd edition that has color pictures as
well, and he did a second book for more advanced riders called mastering
the ride.
Well I'm full up on bikes, but someone else might want to know your
location.

Erin,
You Tube has some great video's. Even ones by the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation - the people who put on the class. They have a You Tube page
that has lots and lots of video's. I wish I had seen these when I was new
to riding.

Someone has asked me to drain the oil on his 84 Ascot. The drain plug looks to

I roll on the throttle there is like a dead zone where I get no
Did the bike sit for a period of time before you bought it? Does the problem
persist after a few miles of riding or does it go away? Have you tried leaving
the choke on for a few minutes after taking off? These questions aren't in the
right order but the answers will help us know what's going
