learn to ride a motorbike

On the weekend when I was visiting my mum I got my stepdad to show me the basics of a bike on his ‘75 Honda Goldwing. Man, that is a hot bike. One day he’ll let me ride on it. Maybe when I’ve had my licence for like… five years. Lmao.

ANYWAY…

LEFT HAND: CLUTCH, HIGH/LO BEAMRIGHT HAND: ACCELERATOR EXCEPT IT’S NOT CALLED THAT ON A BIKE SO I SOUND LIKE A LOSER BECAUSE I CAN’T REMEMBER THE BIKE TERM, LIGHTS, HAND BRAKELEFT FOOT: GEARS
RIGHT FOOT: FOOT BRAKE

I THINK I REMEMBERED ALL THE IMPORTANT PARTS. :|

I got my learners licence this afternoon! Five out of five questions right on the test. :D I’ve got a minimum of six months to learn before I can take my practical test, so I think I’d best start with a couple of pro lessons. Then I’ll borrow my stepdad’s bike…. adjkfsd. Not really. He sold the pretty red one, anyway. Life is hard.

I don’t even know the rules of learning the bike. I mean, it’s not like you can have a passenger with experience. Well… you can, but I’d be terrified. I HAVE NO IDEA. Let me check out http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/. Awesome.

Holy crap, it’s so awesome!!!!!!! I sat on it the other day when I was visiting my mum and WOW, I wish I knew how to ride it.

When I get older I want to be one of those awesome people who rides around on a big handlebar motorbike. My stepdad’s just bought himself a motorbike, actually! Which is very convenient for me. Now I just have to remember my road rules so that I can get my learner licence!
