Thank you r/motorcycles

I've been reading this subreddit for the past few weeks and as a soon to be rider I found it extremely encouraging to see how helpful and informative everyone was. Through the floods of new "best beginner bike" and "what helmet/gloves/jacket/boots should I buy" posts, it was amazing to see that people actually read the posts and gave thoughtful and informative responses with very little bickering. This subreddit has been the biggest encouragement for me to start riding and I'd like to thank you all for being so patient with new riders such as myself.
