Any tip would be greatly appreciated! Suggestions will also be great! Should newbies be dressed in full gear when starting out? Also, what kind of bike is best to start out on? I was thinking about getting a sports bike to start, but I do know that I definitely want a Harley before the end of my time. The best of both worlds will always work for me!  I'm trying to take as many precautions as I can for when I start out. I do realize that this is a very serious "sport", so I want to be as safe as possible. I can not tell you all enough of just how thrilled I am to be beginning this new chapter in my journey of life!  less

  I have a question...

I'm curious about those who have new riders participate in the rides. Do the new riders ride in the back? Also, if a new rider is screwing up and making plenty of mistakes, do the veteran riders tell them how to correct their mistakes?  Are new riders watched out for? And, I would also like to ask, when new riders are joining in, are their experienced riders that ride as passenger just in case a new rider should be taken off their bike to ride as passenger due to too many mistakes that could cost a life? Or is it to each his own and the new riders aren't looked out for? I'm currently watching YouTube videos and I came across some group ride videos that have broguht some concern to me. Thank you for your answers! -Harley  less

Bikes have been an interest of mine since a very young age. My father was a rider, but he has passed on, so I really can't learn anything from him. Well, I'm not totally sure what to say here, so just ask questions! -Harley
