fuse=--action Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Originally posted by Milton@Mar 31 2006, 07:02 PM I started with a scooter, it helps you figure out how to balance on 2 wheels.

I tried to learn on a 1200 Goldwing, it was trouble, I laid it down within 30 seconds. I didn't know those things could wheelie, but they can... After I picked it back up and figured out how to use the clutch it wasn't so bad. It makes even the 900 seem tiny. But ya, start with a small street bike, figure out how the clutch works and be careful, let the clutch off slow and don't rev the motor while the clutch is in...

SteveAustin Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 ClueTwo....I seriously looked at the RC51, but most of the ones I looked at had the most retarded graphics on a bike ever. The one in the pic doesn't look too bad though. Fuse...yeah...like Milton said...start with a small (450-650 cc) street bike. I don't like 250's because they're just waaaay too small and you'll get really bored really quickly. Something that doesn't cost a lot and won't piss you off if you drop it. Motorcycle junk yards are a good place to look for bikes like this. A lot of times they sell used bikes they've patched together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post Thank you for the serious answer Milton. -fuse. Quoted post [/b] You can also take rider safety courses and they will teach you almost everything you need to know. The class works really well for people that have never been on a bike before. Personally I would not get on a bike if I thought I was going to lay it down a few times before I get the hang of it. I have road about 5,000 miles now and never even come close to putting the bike down. Not to mention when you take the rider safety course you only have to take the written test to get your license and if you ride a big bike, you know that that is a good thing. The obstacle course at the DMV is hard to pass if you have a large bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumPuncher Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I have a learners course booked for Mid-May. For the basic one you just have to own the gear (helmet, gloves, boots, jacket) but they supply the bikes. It's probably way better to learn on a 250cc beater than to buy sometime nice (even something used but nice) and lay it down. I'm going to merge this with the otehr motorcycle thread soon, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I went to we just had to have long pants, boots and a long sleeve jacket. They provided the helmet and gloves. I guess they are all alittle different.

Quoted post ahhh...I see now. I was wondering why you were buying all that shit first. If anybodies in the market for a 600 Ninja...one of my boys is probably gonna put his on the market. Have fun with the course Key. Some moron will drop a bike...its almost guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
