learn how to ride a motorcycle

Just a natural progression from cycling, I keep telling myself; then maybe something slow and lightweight to ride for a little while. Then, if I haven’t scared myself too much, maybe a nice Ducati 848 if I can come up with the $.(Pearl White or Red? Any suggestions?)

My Dad has been on motorcycles as far back as I can remember. I have been riding on them as soon as I learned to walk! But I have no idea how to ride on my own. My husband rides and I think it would be awesome for the both of us to have motorcycles and ride together! I’m going to learn!

I actually have my license I just don’t remember how to ride. OMG, that’s so lame! LOL. Alright! That’s it. I’m signing up for one of those safety classes, and I’m buying a damned motorcycle!

I just don’t see this happening anytime in the forseeable future. I still have the interest, and it will probably happen one day. But it will most likely be years. I just have too much other stuff going on right now.

He is getting out of the Navy and I have 3 years left. It is a brand new bike that he bought from my boyfriend’s dad last year. It has less than 2g miles on it… still. My bud showed me how much he owed on it and that is all he is charging me. It is beautiful. It’s heavy, scary, intimidating, and everything I have been wanting for the past 4 almost five years. I get the title tomorrow and take the written test as well… Here I go… Step by step.

I still want to do this, so I’m going to leave it up as one of my things. But I’m not working towards it at the moment.

I want to learn to ride my motorcycle before I take the MSF course. I am having trouble stopping. 3 times I put both feet down. 1 time, I stopped but didn’t put my left foot down soon enough to support the weight. Any suggestions?

My riding lessons took place at about the worst time possible, just as I was starting a new job that had me working to within minutes of the hour my classes started. In addition to that my classes took place in early spring so we got very little daylight (we started at 6pm and went until 10) and we learned through rain, fog, and even snow. It was the most stressful week of my entire life.

I’d do it over again in a heartbeat.

Now I’m obsessing over what my next motorcycle will be and how I can fit as many road trips into my summer as possible.

My husband has a Harley and I think it would make him SO happy to know that I am interested in something that means so much to him.

Enrolled in the MSF class over last weekend and learned how to ride a bike. Talk about a rush. I am looking forward to getting me my own bike next weekend.
