Well this is just embarassing..
Yea, like the title says. It's quite embarassing, but oh well. I've never ridden before and I bought my '97 Fatboy, and have been working on it since I got it. Put it back together today, pulled out of the driveway...and almost wrecked. Was headed for the creek, then turned it back to the right and head for a very very small ditch (like..2 inches deep)...got it over there and got it stopped. I don't really know what happened, but I didn't buy this thing to look at, and I WILL ride it, one way or another. It's been a dream of mine since I was little, and now i'm able to get one..so yea, i'm gonna ride it. Any tips on what will help? Anyone? Any ideas for good practice? Thanks..

Your local community college or dealership should have them and they are well worth the time and money.

Yup....Motorcycle safety course.
Your bike will go where your head it pointing.
Take the course before you kill yourself. Best investment I've ever done.

I don't understand why people feel the need to start out on a 700lb motorcycle. you don't get a ferarri or a semi as your first car either.
but definitely get thyself to a MSF course.

Maybe get ride like a pro as well and some of the literature available. Educate yourself and practice if this is your first bike off of the street in a parking lor or something so you don't endanger others and yourself. Be careful...
