Start small

I did.

When you follow Trip down Blood Mountain, Dont rely on his brake light as a gauge for each corner.

He doesnt use his brake.

Now I do, the GS can't make the corners like the RR and it's a heavy beast.

Lol.

To late now...

But for real.

Dont Trust the asshole next to you...Just pass the motherfucker like you mean it.

If you think you're coming in too hot, hold the throttle and dig deeper.

Road rash sucks and dead cow skin is better at hitting the asphalt than your living skin.

I like to ride motorcycles, wearing a helmet can save my head so that I can ride motorcycles more, because you can't ride if you're dead.

DONT TRY TO KEEP UP, we'll wait for you at the stop sign.

i have two

look through the turns.

and most importantly, if you don't feel like taking a ride don't go.

Most have already been said - Ride your own ride and don't try to keep up with anyone ever! Respect your bike and what it can do....but always know YOU control it and just because it can doesn't mean you should.

I figured out the gear part on my own after watching a few friends crash on our rides...

When you stop, don't look down.

Some of mine...

Your bike's capababilities far exceed what you will ever do on it.
Trust your tires.
Don't try to "tell" your bike what to do, because if you do - it will spit you off.
Reading is no substitute for doing or the experience that comes from doing.

Very true

First time at the track- Don't worry about speed, concentrate on being smooth, and the speed will come.

Plan on where you are going to put your foot down. (to avoid tipovers)

Its easier to get off the bike and push it then it to back up on it. (For short people anyway)

Seat shaving vs lowering the bike, and thick soled boots
