'Where Did You Ride and What Did You Practise?'
Hello, My name is Sean aka BigRed. I learnt to ride around the hilly roads of West Auckland. It was the toughest ride around the block.
I began by warming up my baby. I brought her out, and polished her. I was very nervous so I had my little brother watch my bike as I went into the house to change. I came out and then prayed quickly so that I had a safe ride. I then rode the bike up in first gear to the start of the road. Then it died as i forgot to pull in the clutch.
Then I set up myself up ready for the road, turned my head and watched for any cars. Then off i went, around the first tight bend, already in the first few seconds of my ride I got nervous and my glasses started dropping as it was loose. I then reached my first intersection, down hill sloping to the left.... with a huge tight turn to the left. I did the corner at 20 kms and as soon as i pulled out into the straight I was being tailed by a white van. I had to pull over and let it pass. I got my breath back. Then i started again. Down the a hill, up the next , then down again and squeeze between two parked cars on either side of the road.
Then i came up to my next left, wouldn't you imagine a steep uphill turn to the left. I stalled the first time, then got myself up to it. I pulled the throttle and almost went into the opposite lane into another car but lucky i pulled the bike to the left. I went up the hill then suddenly another car was tailing me. I was horrified, i pulled to the left and stalled, lucky for that car I wasn't in a car.
Then I turned left into my street down the hill and then kept going around and around. Man I was seriously stressed out and that was my first lap. Until the saga continues.
By all means if you have any concerns about your riding, ask questions and I am sure a mentor or senior experienced rider will be only too happy to touch base with you in the forum or by PM personal message.
I would love to have an mentor or senior help me around and show me places to drive to, help me get to Kb Events
I live in west Auckland, atm I am having exams till 15 june, cant wait till after.
