Kathryn asked:


I am interested in getting a bike to drive to and from work, around town and the like. I currently have a mustang and the gas costs are crazy. I have never driven a bike before, and I don’t need anything flashy. But I don’t know anything about buying a motorcycle. I know quite a bit about cars but this seems significantly different. Also, how would I get my license? I live in Ohio.

I just bought a beginner motorcycle and am planning on taking the safety course. I have been practicing a little by driving around my neighborhood (not in traffic) and I was just wondering how long it takes before most of you got comfortable enough with your skills (shifting, breaking etc…) that it becomes secondary? I have driven scooters before but never had to pay attention to all of the other elements that go along with a motorcycle. I Know it varies per person. But I just wanted some input. Thanks.

Ro-Ro asked:


My boyfriend is going to be taking motorcycle repair classes soon, and his birthday is also coming up, so I thought it would be a nice gift to get him various tools to use for his class and for working on motorcycles in general. What are the basic tools that he should have? He already has some basic tools like wrenches, screwdrivers, and hammers. Or does anyone know of a basic all-in-one kit tailored for motorcycle repair that I could buy?
