For day one take check for the money and pen and paper if it's a week day night. No riding that day all class room style. Then on the 2nd and 3rd day you should bring, gloves, jacket (not leather you will be hot), helmet (they have some but bring your own) and over the ankle boots. Gloves and boots are a must!! Tips start in a parking lot!! Don't be afraid of laying it down. It happens. They said with in the first year every new riders lays a bike down. Low speeds are the hardest to master and that will be where you drop it at. It happened to me. After the taking the class, remember you are still new. DO NOT ride over your head!!! Hope this helps!!
