How to learn to ride a motorcycle
It made me
believe in myself
 "Not as easy as it seems, but worth every penny."
How I did it: I signed up for the MSF class and failed it the first day. Bummed, I thought about giving up and attributing that to destiny. Maybe I was just not meant to ride. Maybe I might've gotten hurt. Almost defeated, I decided just to plunk down the money and buy a bike to practice on even if that meant dropping the bike. I've made steady progress and have had my bike for almost a month now. It is so scary, exhilarating, and full of freedom all at once. Definitely worth every penny, and hey I haven't dropped the bike once! Lessons & tips: for those with serious balance issues like me, consider just buying a cheapie bike to practice on. I didn't have a friend or know anyone who owned a bike, so I took the plunge and just bought the darn thing.

How I did it: I took a CMSP class with Bike Smart. They are the best. The first day is all classroom work. You gotta know what you are in for before you actually do it. The next couple of days is all fun on the bike. Just make sure you continuously pay close attention to what the instructors are telling you and alway, always be safe. Read how I did it…
How I did it: my dad rides so he helped me buy my first bike. electric starts are easier to learn with! i practiced on the front lawn and at the park at first; learning how to ride slowly and weave round markers on the ground. then i did a basic skills handling test and got my learners. form there it was practice practice practice! now i have my restricted.And can i just say i you're a girl and want to learn buy a cheap bike and go for it!!

How I did it: I started by booking the learners course. I was the only girl and the only unexperienced rider and it was quite difficult to master the basics without much practice. I had to repeat day 2, but getting my L's was fabulous. I bought a bike from a friend of a friend and practiced in my local area, feeling like a bit of a dork but practice helped me get over my fear and improve confidence, and i became less dorky. surprisingly soon i was on t… Read how I did it…

How I did it: My brother wanted to take the motorcycle safety class... and I wanted to learn how to ride a motor bike just for fun. He, was more into the bikes and I just did it so I knew how to ride, if need be. The first safety class I could get into was 4 months away in July. I told my buddy that I was taking the class and he invited me on a 4000km ride to Vancouver Island that summer. Got a cheep bike off Kijiji the 3 month. Then took the safety cl… Read how I did it…

How I did it: A course taken at the local college... three days of fun with a group of strangers who quickly became my cheering section, and I, theirs!Day OneTraffic School (no bikes)Day TwoGetting on the bike, starting it, moving it forward a few yards at a time. By the end of the day, zipping around the parking lot! Day ThreePractice, and test!Trial and error, laughs and dropping the bike a couple times... yeah, that was me, but I did it! Read how I did it…
moira123 Enthusiasm carries us toward our goal.
I saw a woman the other day on the motorcycle next to my car as I was waiting for the light to turn green, when it did, she took off very fast and I thought: would it be great to learn to ride a motorcycle?. Just few days before that my husband was talking about getting one. So I decided to add this goal to my list and hopefully one day experience the joy of riding a motorcycle .
Well, I’ve signed up for the beginers class. It is all set for January 29th. But I can’t deny that I’m scared
I’ve now ridden on the back of a motorcyle someone else was driving/riding w/e. Thanks, Torrin :)
I think the reason I am having so much trouble with this is because my boyfriend intimidates the heck out of me. He has been riding since he was a little kid. I’m 50 years old and have never done anything like this. I want to be able to just do it, but its not falling into place. When I took the course, it was so much information coming at me so quickly that I couldn’t absorb it. I felt panic. I felt I couldn’t learn it that fast. I needed more time. That is another problem for me. I need lots and lots of time to practice. Without somebody watching me.

My boyfriend is saving up for one so I figure I’d better prepare!

This is something I’ve always wanted to do; I never really felt the need to learn to drive a car (though I will one day, just as soon as I find a 1956 Ford Thunderbird in baby blue), but motorbikes always appealed to me (I think it’s the whole James Dean thing that really set it off).
I’m going to save up my pennies and get to it as soon as I can, though I don’t think it’s going to be likely for a good year or so, what with flights to Australia and Toronto to consider, as well as the search for a flat next year.
And of course, there’s the scooter hurdle.
i ride. a rs 125 2002 model thay lock shit hot but are shit to run my pishden bule up and my rs at 30 milles a our that fucking fun might’ve gotten hurt but by decided yo buy a bike that a rick we tack
Today I rented a motorbike in Chiang Mai Thailand and rode it up to Doi Suthep and back. Very nice windy mountain roads. Granted it was an automatic, but it was a good start to get the feeling. Now I just need to get something that shifts and get that down.
Ever since I got my drivers license when I was 16, I’ve wanted to own and drive a motorcycle. Back then I thought they were “cool” but today I think it would almost be practical. I’m not looking for a crotch rocket or anything like that. just a nice little cruiser bike that I can take back and forth to work when the weather is nice or to just cruise around on a nice day… The way I look at it, its a win win situation. Save on Gas and still look “cool”!

redflutterby asks,
“I have looked into taking a course, however I am a single mom and the two full days of training will be difficult (if not impossible) to fit into my schedule. Are there any other alternatives?”

ent1ring asks,
“I don't own a bike, have no close friends who own bikes, and don't want to buy one unless I know I like it. I've never ridden before and have no idea how to get started or where to go!”
