Visiting a unit
Call and ask them when its best for them. Most will prob say drill weekend. I wouldnt bring beer as you never know what your gonna run into. I would wait till maybe a second visit or so (if thats even necessary)....just go and be urself.

Like stated above the AF makes you take safety courses to ride on base and such. I personally feel that everyone should take MSF courses, miltary or civilian. It is a great class to teach basic skills that are needed to operate a motorcycle (cruiser, sportbike, supermotard...any bike). But don't stop learning how to ride once the class is done, buy some books on riding techniques, and such ("Street Riding Tecniques" by Nick Ientasch is a great book). take a class on a closed course, attend a race school. Anything you can do to sharpen your skills will make you a much safer and better rider. BUY GEAR....who cares how hot it is. you may be warm during a ride in city traffic, but once moving on back roads you will be comfortable. Yes quality gear is expensive, but a skin graph is MUCH more expensive, not to mention painfull. I also agree with not riding during UPT...you will have plenty of time afterwards!!!!! I suggest riding on the race track only....much safer than street riding (NO cars, opposing traffic, cops, litter, deer...you name it!!!) Its a ton of fun....only flying beats the thrill of draggin knee while leaned over in a sweeping turn...brings a smile to my face thinking about it!!! [ 15.
