Check out the Classic Posts section. Pretty much everything you'll need to get started is there.

the engine kit you pick depends on if you want it to go on easy or harder with a bit more of work and tinkering and if you want it cheap or if you have some money to spend.

im thinking you might want a rear rack mounted 4-stroke engine kit.

Howdy Jess, welcome. Is a really broad question with many answers. Lots of folks near you and my best advice would be go to MB get togethers and look at and hopefully ride different bikes and see what you would enjoy most. MBers are really great folks who enjoy helping.

Great to meet ya.

Welcome to the forum. Go thru the photo gallery to see what grabs you.
Joshua tree sounds like a great place to ride the motor bike. I used to spend every October in 29 Palms when I was in the Corps. One year, I was so lucky that I got to spend the month of July there!
