[QUOTE="nhgsr, post: 1475682, member: 15307"] I generally have three pieces of advice to new riders. It sounds like you already have the two most important in mind (training course and safety gear). The third may sound like a bit of a kill joy, but don't buy an expensive bike. There are several reasons for this. Unfortunately, a lot of new riders end up deciding it is just not for them or just don't do it often enough to justify keep the bike. Also, it is highly likely your first bike will end up on the ground at some point (even if it is just in the garage). I typically recommend getting an older bike. They can be picked up pretty cheap. Many require a little work, but I really feel doing a little wrenching on your own bike will really teach you quite a bit (not to mention it is a great excuse to sit out in the garage and drink beer!). I don't have any experience with dual sports, but if you have any questions about metric cruisers feel free to shoot me a message. [/QUOTE]
