read somewhere that Matrix may be compromised. Have you heard of this?

I had never ridden a motorcycle before this year and have always wanted to learn. I figured it would be a useful skill to have. I took the MSF course last month on an older kawasaki eliminator 250. I learned a lot from the course and want to continue practicing.

I plan on purchasing a 2023 Honda Rebel 500 in a week or so as my starter bike! I have a helmet and some gloves. But I’m scouring the internet for a jacket, pants, and boots before then. I’ll try to see if I find anything secondhand, I was caught off guard by the price of new gear.
