Motorcycle school ^.^
« on: January 24, 2012, 07:29:56 PM »
So its official. Second weekend in April I'm booked into motorcycle school up here. I'm a little bit nervous... Yknow, always been on the back of a bike, never driving it.

Any tips for a noob like me?
Gear is already sorted out and obvious... But I mean anything you think this beginners class won't teach me?

Thanks :)

Don't over-think it. It's easy. Millions of people do it every day, so can you. It's not as complicated to get started as you think. And most importantly, don't ride outside your confidence zone. Learn to control yourself when other people are pushing you past your limits. Know how to back off and just meet up with people at your destination, don't try to keep up.

Well said epic. But remember, she's gonna be on a 250...so no worries about pushing it to keep up XD

Seriously, though. Just relax, don't over think it babe. LOTS of riding knowledge comes from experience. Just be calm when you ride and you'll be fine :-)

You can push anything, even a 250, outside your comfort/skill level. Just because it's a 250 doesn't mean it's any less dangerous.

Oh I know man, I know.  And even though it's a smaller cc bike, they still have enough power to get one in trouble. I was just being a smartass, as it's fun to jab at her at any opportunity I get :P

Advice? Maybe advice for Keith? Might want to go with her?

I met my previous girlfriend at MSF. Couple of the guys in the class were trying to hit her up along with the instructors..they couldn't match my fat Asian figure but it didn't stop them from trying  ::)

If he could manage waking up at 7:30... Yeah, he'd go :P he's going to be the doting boyfriend and pick me up at least one day... Maybe he will come laugh at me the second day XD

Do you have any idea how many trees there are in Canada? Do you know what the odds are for hitting one? It's exponentially higher here than in the US. Have some sympathy  :D
