How I did it: I saved up my money and got the training and gear beforehand. know what you are getting into before you buy one on a whim. I highly recommend the MSF course beforehand, to make sure you are comfortable on 2 wheels. Read how I did it…
over the past weekend, i learned how to ride a motorcycle with no prior experience of ever even being on a motorcycle before. I was really worried about learn the manual trans/clutch and shifting operation since I have been unsuccessful so far in a car. I loved it! I was so nervous going in, but I made it, and actually felt comfortable on the motorcycle. Can hardly wait to get my scoot now!! husband also wants a motorcycle now. Great fun…. I recommend the MSF’s BRC course to any new inexperienced rider!!
i want to do more and more crafts. i want to do it for profit. i want to be able to construct and mend my own clothing… damn my mom for being a home ec teacher… i never learned how to properly sew bc she’d always say, ‘let me do it, it’ll be quicker…’
