Hey guys, I'm new in this forum. I'm from south-america will be living in Guilin Guanxi next semester. I always has been interested on motorcycles from a wannabe perspective but I have to admit I never dare to ride one, I know how to drive a car and a bicycle. I have listen that motorcycles are quite popular in the south of china, so I'm thinking to learn to ride, problem is that I absolutely know anything about bikes, non of my friends ride bikes (kinda nerdy here with nerdy friends). So I wish you to guide me if possible on to give the first steps. I know I'm not going to be prepared for riding the whole china in a couple of months, but I want to give the first steps.

So, what is the first I should do? maybe hiring a riding school? then asking for a license? What kind of bike should I buy first to learn?
