[QUOTE="Rajder, post: 1286244, member: 11636"] Good looking bike!:thumb: You made a nice choice with the VTX. To me the VTX is one of the best bang for your buck motcycles that you can get. You get great performance and reliability for a small amount of money. The great thing about riding a Honda is you just change the oil and ride. You never have to worry about them breaking down or screwing up on you. Obviously there are a lot of smart people on this forum because everyone recomended the MSF. I would also recomend after you have been riding for 6 months to a year go back and take the advanced MSF. It's basically the same concept as the basic MSF but you get to use your own bike and you don't have to deal with all of the beginner crap. Having a professional there to critique you while you ride through the drills is an invaluable tool. I actually consider my motorcycle training and safety to be more important than my firearms training (not that you should skimp on that either). Also, I fully recomend getting a good helmet and riding jacket. And I would recomend a good full face helmet at that. There are only two types of riders: Those who have been down and those who are going down. Almost everybody wrecks, it's just the nature of the beast. Wearing a helmet is a personal choice but I'm still here today because I decided to put my helment on before a Sunday morning cruise. Motorcycle gear is expensive but how much is your head and skin worth? Also, remember to only ride at a pace that you are comfortable with, never try to ride at an uncomfortable pace in order to try to keep up with a group. Alot of the wrecks I've seen are newer guys riding with way more experienced riders and they get in over their abilities / experience. You're not going to be as proficient as a guy who has been riding for 20 years. So you don't have to try to keep up with that guy when riding with him. Now enjoy that bike! Motorcycles are the greatest form of transportation that we have!:mosh: [/QUOTE]
