Hello everyone I am a 16-yr-old from Melbourne, last year I got really interested in motorcycles(Harley’s) and this year i have decided to get Street 500 as my first bike when I turn 18 and get my Ls. There’s still a year and half to go so I will be pretty active on this forum to learn as much as I can from more experienced riders. I do have some questions regarding safety gear and how good street 500 is for a beginners bike but I will leave that for another topic.

Welcome mate good to see some young fella's on the forum, The Street 500 should be a good learners bike, Have you had any dirt bike experience as it's always good to learn on the softer dirt/sand/mud etc, road rash is not nice

Welcome to the Forum. The 500 will be fine for your first Harley.

Ge'day Miki,

I agree with wideglide NZ. Consider getting yourself a cheap chook chaser and go to a bike park or find a farm to ride around on.  Learn what it’s like to have front and rear wheels sliding and pointing in different directions. You can learn a lot about bike control safely away from the hard asphalt. Plus it’s fun. 

Welcome, you are in the right place to learn about bikes and life, listen and learn and enjoy your ride.

Welcome

Welcome aboard.  

Welcome Miki,

I hope you enjoy your Harley journey.

Cheers

G'day ,goodonya young fella
