  After looking at my post I thought "what a buzz kill".  It's kind of graphic on the pictures.  I'm just saying have fun on your new bike but be careful.  The other guys are right.  Hitting the gym and seat time will make you the best rider you can be.  Add in safety gear and you will be out front in no time.  Let the other riders suck your dust.

Welcome to the site. I agree the more protective gear you can afford the better. then wear it!!! So far my worst injuries have been stupid slow speed stuff to. Left ACL destroyed, split knee cap, etc. After sugery and rehab I will not get on my K5 or any other bike without my knee braces!!!!! and the rest of my gear. As far as quads being safer, think not, I never want to have one of those heavy things on top of me!!! PS my brother works at the emergency room in YUMA AZ. He can tell you about quad verses bike injuries. (Just my 2cents worth). Have fun ride wear protective gear ride work out ride have fun.

No buzz kill, Danger!  I know this is a dangerous sport.  I have a friend that is permanently paralyzed from the waist down from an old 250R trike accident.  It's learning from others' mistakes that I'm trying to do.  I'm sure I'll make my own, but knowing  "hey, be careful of this on a KX" etc. will keep me from having to learn them all the hard way.  Good luck on the rehab.  Stay on that horse.  Sitting at home afraid of injury is another way of saying that you're waiting to die...  no thanks.  Looking for injury on the other hand... no thanks.  Part of the "fun" of riding to me is being able to look forward to being able to do it again tomorrow!
