Wanting to say a hello From Barrie, Ontario. Just purchased a 1988 Kat for my first bike. So far loving it. Been riding dirt bikes throughout life so at 42 decided to hit the streets ! Look forward to being here !

Welcome to KR.
I am 46 and just got back into street riding again after 15 years. Picked up my 600 last August. Sometimes I wish I had a bigger bike power wise but considering the legal side of street riding it is great! I love it more every time I ride it.
I know it sounds sick but I suggest watching some crash videos on youtube. You will see a lot of accidents due to the speed of the bike compared to the traffic flow.
Do not get complacent, especially in traffic. Try not to ride next to another vehicle except through intersections. Get yourself a caged buddy when you can for intersections. What I do as I am coming up to intersections is to pull just ahead of a cage in a lane next to me so they see me before the intersection and then slow up just enough to be next to them as we enter the intersection. Once through I accelerate into an opening ahead or back off to be in an opening behind them.
Enjoy your ride!
