Definitley wear the gear. Thats the worst thing I see today. Ppl fucking wearing shorts and sandals deserve to go down because they are unprotected. No one piece of gear will save your life either, not even a helmet. Wear it all.
The classes, they are good, but the MSF ones are sometimes a dude looking for a paycheck, who's not patient enough to feed his own baby, let alone teach some one how to ride. Some Harley Dealerships offer the course like mine. They teach it on a 500cc Buell Blast that is so hard to ride(for a new person) that you can likely ride anything after you're done. It's a little more expensive($400 for our course, $250 for MSF in NJ) but it is worth the extra dough. They will try to "introduce" you to Harley Davidson though, so bear with it, they understand new riders shouldn't start out on a $10k bike.
Also, YOU WILL CRASH.
Not if,,, WHEN. SO wear your gear. And bang out on your first, cheap bike. Not your brand new Hayabusa with 57 miles on it. I've seen worse by the way.
