Bruh



But foreal whatd you do that you ended up failing already?

you was trying to crack a wheelie on the 1st lesson weren’t you ?

i think they give you one additional retry without having to pay again

Honestly I was nervous about the throttle and giving it enough gas without feeling like it would shoot off and being stuck in my head

I dropped the bike early because I didn't straighten the handlebars so the instructor already knew I was going to have a hard time

Instructor had to give me extra lessons during the break time...

Then I kept stalling the bike

Starting and stopping was where I really started fukking up, couldn't get the the timing on the breaking right

Instructor let everyone know that some of us are going to have to get extra practice lessons, knowing he was referring to me He said I can continue the course at a discounted price, packed my shyt and left

I am the type of person that always takes extra time trying to learn something so this is nothing new. Just frustrating. That was hours ago though Im chill now

Had to find the train back home since I was stuck in a hood I never been in before on a dead phone

Don’t trip about it,, I remember my first lesson I dropped the bike because I didn’t realize how to properly balance the weight, but I tried my hardest to make it through the 1st day. the 2nd day was a breeze after that.. U right tho the main thing is being stuck in your head and over thinking... what type and brand of bike they had you on? I did my classes through Harley Davidson and I think that was better because we learned on 500cc engine bike which gave me the confidence that I don’t have to start on a 300cc bike..

It was a Yamaha dirt bike, XT250 I think

Ok , if you do take another course look up if you have a Harley Davidson nearby and do it through them instead.. you’ll get a bigger bike.. which might be easier to use for you with the clutch and riding position

Been thinking of getting another bike bruhs.. what y’all think of the Harley Softails? I like the new streetbob, Lowrider S , and last years Breakout .

 

[FaTaL]

What type of security systems do expensive motorcycles have? I would hate to buy one and have it get jacked

I don't get the allure of these things to be honest. Granted once I settle down in my 40s I'ma get me one of those grandaddy bikes with the speakers n shyt, but as long as I got my youth those shyts are






Glad you bumped the thread though; a group of 16 of us are going to North Carolina to conquer the Tail Of The Dragon this weekend. Will be my first time doing it, I'm scared af and excited at the same time lol. Has anyone ever done it before?

If you don't know what it is, jus google/youtube "Tail Of The Dragon" shyt looks crazy fun

Full coverage lol. Sucks to have to start your build over but the major insurance companies are actually pretty good with cashing out full price of bike + accessories

They look a little small. But you can't go wrong with Harley. What kind of riding you plan on doing? Long distance? Just curious about the tank size and comfort.

They got the same engine as most of the big bikes like the road king or sports glide.. The 114. It’s just that these are more classic style of bikes. Just city riding, highway and occasional canyon carving on curvy roads.. I think the smallest tank is 3 gallons on the ones I posted

 

[Smokee Robinson]

And the HD Breakout is more of a muscle /chopper style bike too .. check out the back tires. These guys did a customs one and it’s clean

Lmao I can’t lie .. when I first started riding I was like only sport bike but now I want a cruiser too.. I’m still keeping my GSXR750 but I want something different too

 

[Eddie_1100]

They all look nice nice I’ll get one someday.

The only cruiser I’ve ridden to date was a friends Honda rebel, turning was iffy for me.
