tried to do a three day riders course to get my license and flunked out. found riding a motorcycle quite difficult and not intuitive. what have other peoples experience been like learning to ride? also becuase this is blind: tc 125
do you know how to ride a bicycle
It’s been like probably 20 years since I rode a motorcycle. I used to skate.
practice on a bicycle first
Feels like riding a bicycle but faster. It’s not for everyone, though
Sounds like you have never been on a motorcycle. Counter steering, breaking with your right foot, operating a clutch, focusing on head position, dealing with traffic/mirrors/signals, lean, etc - all very different to a push bike
I have never been on a motorcycle. It felt like there was a ton of stuff to memorize really fast.
Probably not for you. Even if you manage to pass, do you want to be driving a motorcycle knowing you may not have a natural talent for it and therefore are more likely to crash?
Were you doing one of the courses to skip the sills test? If so what did you fail on? It seems fairly hard to fail one of the courses, but fairly easy at the DMV. Still if it’s something you want keep going, but build up slowly on the road.
Yeah I was. They booted me really early basically because I couldn’t figure out how to turn. I had difficulty turning because I didn’t really feel stable going in a straight line.
Quit before you end up as roadkill
Practice makes perfect and it is a skill that rusts (hence why summer ends with so many dead motorcyclists). I think someone else mentioned but grab a 125 and go dirt biking. It's fun and essentially the way we teach kids. I'd be curious where you are struggling.
I guess the part I really struggled With the was the pace of the class. Like I didn’t get very far, but like it took me a While to get my feet onto the pegs, and I found the controls confusing. I feel like what I need is something with more repetition and where I can practice a skill until I get it before moving on.
Yeah, I'd definitely say get a dirt bike and practice in a parking lot (and on the dirt :D) iirc most states you don't need a license for a 125cc and below but you also can't legally take them on the freeway either.
Need to get back and start leetriding bro
Change your tampon and grow some balls.
How does this even make sense?
It's a joke, man up bro.
I passed riding school with flying colors and then got the fastest bike in the world as my first bike - the BMW S1000rr. If you have self control, it’s actually the safest bike there is with anti traction control, cornering abs, anti wheelie control, etc. Most modern bikes have quickshifters and you don’t even need to use a clutch. But if you didn’t feel comfortable on a motorcycle by the third day, I’d say it’s not for you.
This is the most blind answer anyone could Possibly have given
That is literally the worst advice up until "not for you". You should change your name to Vale and go straight to MotoGP after this.
Try again! What’s the problem here?
