And don't listen to fishfryer. (no offense man) everyone can learn but you need to practice and in a controlled environment. and fish. thats a dick move. lol

 

Relax. Wheelies don't just happen. Practice. Educate yourself. The more you learn before attempting to ride, the fewer times you'll dump it. And if 305 is not your area code, nor the date you lost your virginity, get it down to 250 before trusting your life to your own coordination.

MSF is definitely the way too go.. for sure but practice with your clutch on your street in first. just stand there and let out the clutch slowly to get a feel for when it will start to take off just walk with it. Then you can go from there.. thats the way i learned some practice on my own and the MSF course.. MSF for sure though great help. gets your confidence pretty high up.

 

Please look into the MSF course ASAP! For now, take it up and down the driveway and around the block only. Do you have anyone to help you? Keep us posted...

 

MSF up in here before you get hurt real bad! Some things you don't just jump into thinking it looks easy with no instruction such as guns,women,alcohol,and bikes!

 

Thank You guys very very much you all have given wonderful advice and words!!! I have been riding up and down my street and staying on the back roads I dont have any buddies with bikes soo im kinda teaching my self thats why im asking the questions sorry if they sound sooo stupid to some and i apolize but i have to learn w/o asking ill never know Im just trying to get a feel for the clutch to switch gears I have gear for me and im wearing it when i ride just trying to get a grip on the clutch and gears and im going to take MSF cause that sounds like a great idea any more info or help or advice you great guys can lend me that would be great and again thanks for the help so far im doing somewhat ok!

 

hey :-) ..firstly let me say I am truly sorry if it came across that I was taking the mickey ..its just our sense of humour on here sometimes and it can appear insensitive at times ... so sorry for that ...

About the brake thing ... I am not sure how fast you are riding yet but if you are just doing very low speeds around car parks and up and down roads then the front brake in particualr can appear to be quite severe ..much more than it does at speed ..you are doing say 10 mph and grab the front brake ..the accompanying dive and almost instant stop can take you by surprise ..what you need to remember is that same pull on the brake at 50mph is not going to do the same thing since the bike has much more kinetic energy and is harder to stop ...

Whatever you do dont feel pressured or in a hurry to get good ..do the course and always ride at your own pace and not anyone else's ever!!

In normal circumstances braking is a progressive thing ..gradually applying them and increasing the pressure as necessary .. no amount of words here can make up for actual practising and getting the "feel" of all this yourself ...just take your time and NEVER be afraid to ask any of us anything ..ok??

Be safe!!

you are right. everyone has an aptitude for everything. anyone can do anything well. there is no difference between me and Anderson Silva in our striking abilities, Tiger Woods and I are the same. Mozart and me should have a piano duel. Did I mention my Pornstar qualities?
