first off, thanks to everyone for the good advice.
I am definetly planning on taking the drivers safety course before I get out and start riding. Im planning on riding really carefully. Thats one of the reasons I didnt get a bike when I was younger because I thought I might not be very responsible. But I'm 30 now and I feel like I'm a much more resonsible person and I have more respect for the possible dangers. I am definetly getting all the safety gear, helmet, jacket, boots, etc.
Im currently checking in on insurance and what my payments might be, to see whats in my budget.
My driving records pretty good and I get the adult rate. How much do u think insurance should be?
