    You need to sign up for an MSF course. I would check out ABATE of Indiana(online) or got S&S in clarksville.

    Ooooh, Ask me! Ask me! 1. Forget the age part - we all look the same with helmets on....2. sign up for the msf if you haven't already....3. Ask anybody here on the forum about bikes - lots of good advice most of the time... 4. And you can handle almost any bike that your feet can reach the ground on, but nothing too powerful until you get the hang of it.

    OK so apparently I need to introduce myself - I am 23 - body to die for and RICH........

    If you fell for that I have an island you can buy.....

    Seriously, was hanging out with someone for the season last year. He has me addicted to riding but we aren't hanging anymore.

    So if i take the class recommended - what size bike do i start with? I am 5-3 and 112. (didn't have dinner :-)

    Ninja 250's are highly recommended for new riders. Heck even experienced riders. AND they come in green!

    I agree about the MSF course, but sometimes you just have to do it. Trust yourself and have confidence in youe ability, and STILL take the MSF course.
