And they're all in Jax... Is this some sort of world domination plan in action? I want in... I promise not to vomit on anything... anything super important that is...

There's more... DV8OR, Saki Girl, Al-caholic (Mr Saki Girl), 2K4Gixxer, Sportinsflyin... um... who am I forgetting. They're ALL Rider Coaches (and all but PhiSig work for the same school).

Everyone has offered excellent advice and the appropriate ways to go about getting into riding.

On the gear, remember to get something that is fully functional. Right now on the market there is alot of ladies gear that looks like real MC gear but is in reality just for looks. You want to make sure you have CE rated armor in your jacket (back, shoulders, arms). Make sure your helmet is Snell and/or DOT approved. As for pants, well, there are several types you can go with, but for the MSF, jeans are sufficient. A good sturdy pair of over the ankle boots are a must, try not to get anything with too boxy a toe as it may not fit under the peg. A pair of gloves can be picked up at any bike dealer from $35 and up.

I think that covers it, they are finally getting good stuff out for us girls, just ask if you have any questions about what you are looking at.

Hmmm....so MSF does do basic operation drills and such? Cool,I took it when I was 18 in like 1983-84. The army mandated it before you could ride on post. Anyway,it sounds like FLA has put all it's eggs in the MSF basket. BTW I realize that you can pick up bad habits from friends but it's better than getting a bike and trying to learn on your own. Besides not all guys who ride are jerkwads. I've always got the impression the OSP was a conscientious rider and believe it or not I'm an excellent new rider coach myself. BTW MM when you're looking for gear,depending on your size,I have some Icon stuff that might fit you I'd sell cheap. Ex gf stuff/barely used!
