Hey everybody, I just bought my first motorcycle: a black (or "raven" as Yamaha prefers to call the color) 2009 Yamaha FZ6R!
I have to say I could not be more excited. I am currently up in college and the bike is at home 200 miles away. Also, I don't have my license yet, so I haven't had a chance to ride it yet needless to say.
But regardless I am extremely stoked! So I just wanted to introduce myself to you all and share the good news!
Any tips or pointers for a brand new rider?
I am particularly curious about gear: I will be needing pretty much everything, so any suggestions for jacket, helmet, gloves, etc. would be appreciated (I'm on a fairly tight budget, so affordable stuff is preferred).
