I finally went to take that class for motorcycle lessons that i had been waiting for a week wit my cousin! I passed the writing part, like everyone else, but I had lot of trouble keeping control of it during the riding part! I got special help on the side during the breaks, then i found out the problem was that i was letting the clutch go too slowly and i couldn't control the bike after i would take off! lol, i thought 250cc was nothing cause my older cousins got a 750 and ride it like its a breeze! I paid $170somethin for the class and gettin no refund, and i can't even go tomorrow to kinda get SOME help! So ive decided to forget about the whole idea of ridin! Does anybody have advice for me? lol! :BangHead:

well, that sucks......maybe buy a $1000 bike and practice w/ that. also if you have a bicycle ride that, the mechanics of turning a motorcycle are the same.

make sure your wearing full gear, and when you get comfy w/ that take the class again. yup it is more $, but it sounds like you need the lessons......

good luck, sorry you got in w/ the other class instead of mine.

first time to drive a standard?

talked w/ your inst. , he recommended you get ALOT more practice on a bicycle........then retake the class. he thinks you'd be fine w/ bicycle/balance practice..........

Wow, I think this is the first time Racer X sounded nice and encouraging, lol.

But like most said, don't give up, just keep trying if it's what you really want.

this means no new bike for you...I'd listen to racer x to see which bike would better fit you

Get a small dirt bike and learn to ride. :icon_thum

from my understanding balance was a major problem, so go get practiced ALOT on a bicycle, then get a small dirt bike........

If you like riding you should get something really small and practice everyday. Wear all your gear and be ready to eat shit some. I think your already lightyears ahead of some just in your thought process of taking the class, and coming on here for advice.

If RacerX says go work some balance on a bicycle its prolly a good idea. A little 150cc dirtbike would be more fun IMHO. And everyone knows you just look like a badass crashing a dirtbike, thats what the X-Games is right.

If you really wanna learn, dont quit. If you have any doubts, or if the thought of crashing scares you to your core. . . Dont ride. Crashing and close calls is part of this sport. Thankfully, so is learning.
