thats a relief! i have exo750!

this is a totally different brand from arai and bell.....but i just got a scorpion.....anyone's opinion on that brand????

thank you! i didn't know until my first post how many negative and discouraging ppl would be on here....and if i was one to be discouraged easily, i prolly would've folded already. but i know there are girls that weigh as little as i do and ride a 600cc! and i know what i can and can't be...

I totally feel so much better! granted i wasn't gonna let anyone discourage me from being successful at something i wanted to do a very long time, but this really helped!

Wish my lot across the street from my building had hills like that! LOL

had help the first two times and then managed to do it on my own on the third, i remembered watching a youtube video of how a female would lift the bike.

crap, i never touched the killswitch at any of the drops. i have a kawasaki ninja250. your's stall on 1st gear without any throttle?? i thought it was possible cause that how i taught in the beginning before learning how to do it simulateously and it moved just fine..which is why i found it...

luckily mississauga is less crazy than toronto. i might be stubborn to be wanting to do this but i'm still practical when it comes to knowing my limits. Even when i get my m2, it will be a while before i go anywhere near toronto. I want to ride because i enjoyed the time i've been on so far...

My feet aren't flat but i'm hardly tippy toeing, i can rear out of a parking lot with my legs...but it might be why i was unsuccessful at the uphill ramp out of the garage cause the door opens late and slow so i have to suspend the bike to wait for the door to open before i can continue up. the...

oh really? No one mentioned that.... I'm gonna wait for my buddy to come back from vaca and get him to ride it out to see if it's the bike or me LOL. If it's the bike then i'll have to bring it in...but if it's me then i just need to practice some more.

to cargoload: Yah I know....for the most part, at least it's not the gear shifting that I'll be worried about anymore when i get to the course. I actually wanted to practice maneuvering my bike at 1km/hr which is why i started on that escapade alone and see if i can do all the tight turns or be...

that thought did occur to me as well....but the guy that was helping said because my condo garage is so warm, i most likely don't have to worry about the choke so much....but maybe i was jumping the gun too fast and expected it to run right away without really warming it up.

sorry you're right i should've mentioned what bike i have, it's 2009 kawasaki ninja 250, and it's under 2500km. it ran beautifully when i rode it the two days....i was doing the snake turns, shifting gear left right and centre, turning with different speeds....until that night i attempted to go...

thanks westendbike girl :) I am taking the course next weekend, I just wanted to make sure I got a hang of shifting gears ahead of time so that I can focus on the technical stuff of being a better rider, which is what the instructor at the sheridan college advised me to do cause i've never...

I'm a new rider and had a learned to ride from a private instructor(who also is an instructor for a mto qualified motorcycle school) to help me prep for the 2 day bike course(long story) and after two days of learning to ride with this dude, told me i was ready to ride the road! YAY!! So one day...
