Tarmac,
It sounds dramatic and all, but what kind of crappy advice is that to give a new rider?
Ryan,
Enjoy your Thrux! It's a great bike.

It's real world advice. The truth of riding motorcycles is that sooner or later you ARE going to dump the bike. It could be something silly like your foot slipping in oil at a stoplight, or something crazy like a car pulling out of a driveway right infront of you.
The best advice I can offer a new rider is to wear a SNELL approved full faced helmet, a leather jacket with armor or padding, full fingered gloves, heavy pants and over the ankle boots.
