I just bought a 2018 kawasaki vulcan 650 and thinking I could just learn in one weekend. My husband is a great rider. Yes, please do take a class, I think you’ll find it much easier to get to know a motorcycle in a controlled environment than out on your own.Chances are, you will have a leg up with your mountain biking experience because you’re already familiar with balancing a two-wheeled vehicle, but shifting gears and using the clutch and throttle adds a whole different dimension that needs to be learned one step at a time! Best of luck with the class! to really feel comfortable on the scooter, and it was only after riding the scooter for a year that I moved on to a motorcycle. Regarding the rest of the piece, I really enjoyed it. Luckily I have a husband with great patience and willing to teach me at my speed. And he thinks I should now start on the 883.

Had we not been about to move back to the USA, I would have gone back to Kentucky for a vacation, gotten my license there by giving my family's address as my residence, then got my motorcycle license transferred to a German license (and note that Germany does NOT accept all U.S. state's driver licenses for transfer; check the web for more info). My hand and knee are pretty sore but my ego is the most badly damaged ? But it sounds like you’ve made some progress already! I acknowledge that I do not have a degree in psychology nor education; but I have taught children and adults here in the states and overseas, and I have two school-aged children who have had teachers that run the gamut of the teaching spectrum.

I was looking for both for people to ride with when I wasn't riding with my husband and announcements for events I might be interested in.

Some of these comments were a real comfort, so thanks to everyone brave enough to come out about it… and my support to everyone else having a rough time of it.Oof, sounds like you’ve had a rough go of it so far! Comments are welcomed, and motivate me to keep writing -- without comments, I start to think I'm talking to cyberair. I loved loved loved the smooth ride of the Honda Nighthawk (four cylinders is so awesome), but my goal was to be able to do more adventure motorcycle riding - that means riding off-road sometimes, sometimes all day, to get to my destination. To me, the article I cited is arguing against an oversimplification of learning styles, which has proliferated education recently. It was really nice to have my own helmet once I finally took a motorcycle riding class. It’s only my 4th day on it so…. But I think it’s not coming that easily to me.
