    THIS. Take the course, buy the best gear you can, and just ride safely. Enjoy!

    Read the book. 30 mins tops and you're ready to go. But you do need to read it.

    You might want to review the car driver's handbook as well as the motorcycle one - there's questions from both on the motorcycle written test. Good luck, and it's up to you, but I suggest that you don't ride until after you've taken the course.

    Re: Hello, Just bought my first bike =D

    I owned a 250 ninja 2 years ago when I first started, and it's definitely a great bike with a long of nice handling! But as someone else mentioned, definitely drive within your limit, don't try to chase other people, especially on turns etc. I've seen many people getting into accidents trying to mimic others, thinking they can do the same thing and then got scared and... well... didn't turn out so well.
    I did my M2 with RTI near the docks, and they are pretty decent, the teachers I had were very encouraging and taught us a lot of great skills to handle the different situation, and I definitely learn quite a bit from there. Planning to do my M with them later this year too!
    I've switched to a zx6r since then and still enjoying every bit of it. Hope you enjoy too!

    This is kind off topic but!
    I bought my bike used and its got a scratch along one side on the decal (its a ninja 2009 special edition) so the white decal on one side is scratched in one place. Anyone know where i could find a replacement decal for it? Ive been looking on the web, but no luck.
