Do you posses self control and common sense?
If the answer is yes, then it is worth considering.
If the answer is no, then do not get a bike.
My experience has been that females tend to be less inclined to do the stupid stuff that we males do... feel free to derive from that what you wish
You just need to understand that you will crash and it is your responsibility to minimize the likelihood and impact.
Wear Your Gear and Be Heads-Up!

As someone once told me, while buying a 700.00 helmet............

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.

Motorcyclists give a litany of reasons for not wearing helmets: They impair peripheral vision, they are hot, or they restrict the ability to talk on cell phones. Other riders just like the feeling of the wind in their hair.

WTF WHO RIDES AND TALKS ON A CELL PHONE?
I won't lie, I'm guilty of text messaging while stopped at a light or even answering a quick call to say "I'm on the bike"...but only for a second and I dont put the shit in gear until it's back on my belt loop....that's insane shit right there people.

Full-face, jacket, gloves, jeans ALWAYS! Have been seeing to many "riders" with absolutely no gear on the interstates! They make bikers look ridiculous.
