I am going to begin taking motorcycle lessons here soon.
Have any enthusiasts around here?
Any tips to share? :D

    wear your helmet even if its not a law in your state! i just moved to delaware and i can't believe all the nimrods riding around without a helmet. i've seen one to many crashes to think otherwise. but most of all have fun man!

    I thought about getting into this but never did. Guess, I'm too much of a pussy. :p
    Becareful of the 4-wheel drivers, some can be careless towards bikers.

    Best of luck!

    Do wear all the right clothing and a helmet! My BIL was in a very serious accident back in June, he has been riding since his teens, a car did a U turn and hit him going about 40 mph. He was in the hospital for 10 weeks. His list of injuries, head trauma, 5 broken vertebra in his neck, shattered pelvis/hip that needed major surgery and hardware and a broken leg. Internal injuries right after it happened that required 13 pints of blood before he could be airlifted to a better hospital....he was given less then 10% chance of living. Yesterday he was given the a ok to get out of the wheel chair and start walking with a walker. Sorry to write such a downer....JUST BE CAREFUL OF ALL THE A-HOLE DRIVERS OUT THERE!
