Only gripe here is location.

I also bought a small bike many moons ago to learn to ride and learnt it in a day. I decided to sell it with the intention of upgrading to a bigger beast since I knew how to ride and the government agreed to it. Then I sold it and the government put a ban on all bikes going forward. I was tricked I tell ya.

You youngsters mean you learnt to operate a machine in 1 day.
I learnt to operate my old school Enfield with the gear change on the right, in a morning, why should it take longer?
Learning to ride involves riding on public roads with all the other road users, safely for many years.

You cannot learn to ride a bike in one day. Did you do emergency braking, avoidance manoeuvres, cornering, slow movement and turning.etc.. Did you learn to use your peripheral vision?

 

[Cruzz_33]

Main things
#1 Safety gear Safety gear Safety gear
#2 always looking up and far out try not to look down much
#3 Use your feet to steer putting the footpeg under the part of your foot just behind you toes

 

[Cruzz_33]

Word of advise stay off the roads and rather get onto the track!!

 

[Rafique]

Idea was only to learn how to ride and change as well as cornering. I never intended to keep the bike. I couldnt learn on anyone else's hence the purchase. Guys it's just a sale not a debate on what was learnt. I learnt what I wanted to.

Thanks for the info on what else should've been learnt

Sorry for derailing your thread a bit just making sure fellow bikers are safe out there

That is why I never used mine to work even though it would have saved a lot of time and money. Never know when a taxi decides to switch lanes.

Great looking bike and awesome price. Good luck with the sale man.

how exactly does one steer a bike with your feet??

You press into the peg which shifts your weight to that side. This will lean the bike to that direction. Then we get into counter steering.

What are the handle bars on the bike for?

 

[Va-poor]

Mainly for carrying grocery bags

Control mounts, ie brake levers, throttle and clutch, and for parking.
Gotta agree with @Va-poor after 100kmh its all about counter steering and weight distribution on the pegs/seat.
You dont discover that riding around upright in the suburbs in 1 day.

 

[Cruzz_33]

Applying pressure on the foot pegs @Riaz

As misconceived a quote as many of the vaping scandals. I ride everyday to work, and would rather ride with a taxi than most other motorists. Those guys spent the whole day every day on the road. Whatever you may think, they know their vehicle WAY better than you know yours. I'm referring to 80% of taxis vs 80% of motorists. There will always be the 20% exception on both sides.

That's the problem with the riders today

All worried about lean angle blah blah blah. He's half off the bike but the bike is straight up

No focus on head and eyes.

I see it everyday. Guy moers down the straight, come to the bend then he brakes right down.

Push the bar in the direction you want to go and your body will naturally do what it needs to.
