I tell most people, women and men, go take the MSF FIRST. Then get your idea of which bike / style you want to invest in. There are many people that start on something they would have thought twice about if they would have taken the MSF and puttered around on those kick ass little bikes first.

Hell, there have been people that took the MSF and decided riding wasn't for them...

Agree! I took my MSF course and learned the basics of riding in a parking lot It did help a lot and I highly recommend it for all new riders. The first time I rode in front of Jeeps I was a nervous wreck. Even though he was very supportive I was so nervous about doing something wrong or just plain stupid in front of him that I was literally shaking. Not sure I would have done it without the MSF course basics under my belt. Now I can be a stuipd newb and we can both laugh at my stupidity
