New Rider, First Bike

[ThatDudeJebus]

Hello everyone, I'm a new Rider in SWVA and I just picked up my new CT125 yesterday. I'm starting the process for getting my license now, but I will have to ride with other motorcycle riders for the first month. In short, I don't know anyone I can ride with and not be outrun by. If any of you are in the area and would be willing to help a new rider in your free time let me know please!

Hi,
I found a closed up business parking lot with grass banks to back the van up to so the ramps are nearly level making loading and unloading easier. There is no traffic nor distractions here, and it is much cooler in the morning to put on all the gear (ATGATT). Practising slow speed maneuvers. I find starting on an incline and making a sharp right or left turn from a stop hard.

Here are the daily ramps. I removed the mirrors. Will put mirrors on when on the road.

What ramp is that? Sure looks like a good one.

Nice ramp setup. There are some good folding mirror options out there if you don't want to mess with taking them on and off but still need to reduce the height of the bike for loading.

KTM / FAR adjustable folding mirrors

I didn't like the limited adjustability and chrome stalks on the OEM mirrors so I went with some FAR brand mirrors that came stock on some KTM models and are a common fold-away upgrade for off-road riding. There are a lot of other companies selling knock-offs that have the same looking design...
