First I would find a local Motorcycle Safety Foundation Learn to Ride course (www.msf-usa.org) and take that. Its how I learned and was a great experience. I too am interested in learning to rebuild motors, I'm entertaining the idea of buying a engine core and going about it that way with the theory that its no big loss if I destroy it and if by some miracle it works I can either put it towards a project car/bike (depending on what I decide to rebuild) or sell it to cover some of the expense of learning.

Knightnorth,

I understand all too well the cost of living close to DC, I don't know if I could handle your commute but I envy you being away from the mess.
