http://www.msf-usa.org/ Take the beginner course. They provide bikes, helmets, etc. You need to bring gloves, long pants and long sleeves. They will give you the basics and get you up and riding in two sessions (4hrs each IIRC). I don't think it will have you ready to go straight out in traffic but you'll have an idea of whether you can handle it, and either way it is a lot of fun. I would never have gotten into riding if my friend hadn't dragged me to the course, and it was one of the best things I ever did, honestly.
Just finished the course this weekend. If anyone's on the fence about learning to ride I highly recommend the MSF classes. Great time. Thanks for posting the link J. OK, so I've got a question for you motorcycle guys: They had me setup with a Kawasaki 150cc bike because I'd never been on one before. The thing was WAY too tiny for me (handle bars too low, seat too narrow, barely enough room to get from the pegs to the brake/shift). I definitely need something bigger. I sat on a Honda crotch rocket that one of the other guys in the class had and I really didn't feel all that comfortable on it, although that could have been because I'd never been on one before. I know bikes are highly personal but does anyone have a recommendation on a type of bike that might work for me?
I'd wouldn't "start small" as you'll get tired of it quickly. Also, I wouldn't buy a huge first bike either.
