 Rickaaaaay! anyway. go to a proper motorcycle training. There's more to riding than how to make the machinery work. safe techniques, clutch control, controlled braking & emergency braking (definitely the hardest and most important thing for a novice to learn) , very slow speed riding, fast riding, safe cornering, leaning, countersteering, proper safety equipment, how and why a motorcycle or scooter works that way, how to treat other traffic, how to position yourself on the road, what gear to be in when. All that is much more important than simply how to shift and ride and then kill yourself. Niall : That how YOU do it in the I.E.! : Now P.J. it's ime to come clean and tell these folks the truth... that it's YOU who need to learn how to ride, and that your girlfriend has agreed to teach you but suggested that you get a few tips from the scooter message board first... : : it was a fun sight. oh yeah, she was in sandals and had no helmet on too...but that is who we do it in the IE |
