    Feels like riding a bicycle but faster. It’s not for everyone, though

      OP
      I have never been on a motorcycle. It felt like there was a ton of stuff to memorize really fast.

      Counter steering at Chuckwala ✔️

      “Breaking” with your right foot...no, people usually brake with their right foot. But what do I know?

      Operating a clutch ✔️ just not a dry clutch please.

      Proper head position while a Jap I4 is tryna take over your twin at Willow Springs ✔️

      Dealing with traffic/mirrors/signals all while lane splitting? ✔️

      Lean ✔️ Still can’t drag my elbows though 😢

      Riding a motorcycle and a bike aren't very similar, especially once you get past 20mph and must countersteer. You can and must clutch/throttle to keep yourself upright at slow speeds, not that comparable to a bicycle.

      Just retake the course OP, once you get it down you'll see a bike is more intuitive than a car actually, and it makes more sense for your hands to do the finesse inputs moreso than feet in a car.
