Darrell,

Congratulations on finding a good price for your new bike. If you have time after your bike arrives, please do start a new thread in our Street Forum, and post lots of photographs of your new bike! We love photos.

Since you don't have the opportunity to take a rider safety course, I will recommend an excellent book, Proficient Motorcycling, The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well, Second Edition, by David L. Hough. The ISBN number is 978-1-933958-35-4.

You might also consider two other, excellent books written by the same author.

If you wear good, protective riding gear, ride defensively, and practice the principals contained in these books, you will have a much better chance getting off to a safe start riding your new motorcycle.
