Zecho Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 The theory is: Don't ride beyond your capabilities. Your capability right now is Zero. Like I said, practice pushing it around a bit so, it'll give you an idea of how low speed maneuvering is (kind of, at least). Then find an EMPTY parking lot to ride in.

Zorro Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I never took the course and didnt own my first bike until 4 years ago. My advice to you, if you cant take the course immediately...stay off the main roads. Putt around a few local neighborhoods for an hour at a time. Even go to a big open parking lot and to practice stopping and starting before you venture out into the neighborhoodsd. Do a few figure 8's, slow turns, and quick stops. I did this for about 2-3 weeks before i went out in the main traffic (no highways, and definitely not during rush hour)There's no shame in taking it slow.

SuperHawk Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Definitely! Thanks guys, I for sure won't be venturing out for awhile, but thanks for the invites! I need to get my basic stuff down pat and get more comfortable, on the bike and the thought of being on the road with all the other drivers and no protection.Much thanks to Yotaman for offering his help and for everyone else. Field trip to my place this weekend!! I'll get some pizza or wings or whatever and a cooler full of refreshments and we can just hang. I'm free all weekend except saturday night. And my garage is huge, so the more the merrier!Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually want to own a copy then pick it up. It's a good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
