First of all, some colleges offer motorcycle courses where they supply
the cycle and you supply the body and a helmut. Take this first. It 
gives you the opportunity to find out what size bike you require. I
think this would help you out the most. 

Also it might be a good idea for you to borrow or go out some weekend
with a friend on a dirtbike. This is excellent on-the-job-training
for *dumping* a bike. Please where a helmut when doing this. Besides
its fun.

The first bike I owned was a 360 Bultaco...taught me the ins and outs
of using a bike...and when on the street...subconciously looking out
for anything to happen.

Have fun and good luck,

Bill Ramey
