well...it all started in 19 and diggidy doo. i have to say diggidy doo because we aren't allowed to say 20. after the rise and fall of the unicycle there were a few extra wheels laying around so I invented the bye-cye-cicicicle. then I put a steam engine in it and called it the steamboat willie. Disney later stole the name from me for his pet mouse, but we ended the dispute with a nice payout of leather and pineapple husks. we used pineapple husks for....

Get The Complete Idiot's Guide to Motorcycles, I have a copy, but I'm not sure what edition it is. I plan to read it front to back over the summer. Watch YouTube videos, those have helped me. For example, no one taught me the correct way to pick my bike up if dropped. I found out how on YouTube.
However, eventually you'll have to put everything you learn to practice by actually riding your motorcycle.

funny enough, honda motorcycle started by putting electric generators on bicycles, the generators were for the people who were bombed at Hiroshima and had no power but were later purchased by Soichiro Honda at a government surplus.

Welcome aboard, the Phoenix editions are SICK! What are your plans for the bike? Check out the August issue, it should be out in the next week or so. We've got a 2007 CBR600RR project bike (same body style as yours) so you can get some ideas on what mods to choose!
