The worst start to Motorcycling

[ital916]

Quite possibly the worst start to motorcyclingt a newbie can have lol *sigh i'm crying on the inside haha*...3 bins three weeks! Two due to a bunged rear tyre and one today due to braking in gravel. Sigh check the post in the UNI SMC board for full story. Well bad things come in threes so heres hoping a clear road ahead. Again to all out there ride safe!

I got to tell you, You really do have a bad start.

Hey, RG is a two stroke bike. Could be aggressive for beginners (well, you did not bin because of that reason but still)

well however, It is cool that you are OK (unlike some of my friends who had to stay in hospital for a while). You are cool.

I really want to say "Keep up the hope" but.......

yeah, keep up the hope!

I learner to ride a bike before a car
its not hard but if you know how to ride at least .....go drive on a shingle road itll let you know how a vehicle reacts....
As for my self you cant get a bike fast enough for the shingle ....so long as its not deep ....

dude i hate to be blunt be 3 crashes in 3 weeks is pretty bad going. somethings not right and you need to pinpoint it.

is it theoretical understanding of how a bike handles? - read some books, search the web, learn learn learn.

is it practical knowledge? - do the RRRS course or some other training. do the mentor rides. etc.

is it attitude? - if so only you can change that. plenty of time to ride fast once you've mastered the skills.

dont make it number four anytime soon bro :niceone:

Dude go get a lotto ticket shit has to get better for you, I`d walk do`nt take your bike FFS, Nah just taking the piss ,With time comes experience,the bins should become fewer and farther between.

Sigh..i'm not a bad rider! It must come off as that but i'm really not. I know the theory and i practice it carefully. The first two bins were due to a dangerously bad back tire! That was changed and now the back is behaving, the thi4rd was a newbie mistake on gravel. I have always been careful, it just has really been bad luck so please don't think that i am a hoon as i am not. I have take riding courses with instructors on the road so am not incompetent.

why did it take you two bins to change a dangerous tyre?

[ital916]

Because no one realised that the tire was the problem..in hindsight we should have really checked the tire.

If you read his earlier thread about it, you'll understand a bit better; it wasn't that it was bald, or anything like that -- it was coated in silicone or some slippery shit.

Hope you are alright after all that and a-ok to continue riding. What a bugger that some lessons are painful (on the body, or the wallet, or both). :weep:

Who knows? :rolleyes:
