|  Bought my first bike today.. I purchased my first bike today, a Suzuki LS650K6. I requested Friday off so that I could get my license and pick the bike up. On one hand I'm excited but, on the other I'm nervous.  |

  |  and congrats! no need to be nervous - once you've gotten past the stalling parts and got the bike moving, it's not terribly difficult to ride it reasonably well to get it home. for me, the hard thing to learn and get comfortable right now with is push-steering and leaning into turns (i have to fight my natural tendency to keep the bike upright). the rest ain't too bad at all.
