Rubber Side Down
So a buddy of mine just finished his MSF course. He has no other prior riding experience, and never has ridden on the street before.
But he has gotten himself hooked on getting a Commerative Edition Gixxer 1000... (~14k) I have tried to talk him into not buying a new bike, let alone a 1000, but he has persisted... Today he called me up and told me he bought it...  For his sake I hope he stays rubber side down...

Well, at least he took the MSF. Best thing you can do at this point is make sure he invests in some decent gear beyond just a helmet, tank top, and sneakers...
