What's the best way to learn?

[fatzx10r]

just get out thetr and start clocking up the kay's mate. take it easy and get used to the bike and your own ability, it will all start to come to geather after a while. the main thing is to just have fun and enjoy it

Your driveway is a good place to safely practice clutch control etc, also good for pissing of the neighbors but if they don't ride, stuff 'em.

I went out and bought a bike (suzuki GT125) in 1991 and learnt to ride it on the way home .

Not recommended though I suggest the mentor option.....would have been awesome to have had that support available in my day....

go to a proper motorcycling school and get your basic handling, then get your learners , then go to carpark and practice and then strat with road riding.

Get in touch with a Mentor, quick.

These are the guys with the :Me after their user title.

I can't stress this enough. You need to be taught properly.

Riffer's got it... there is nothing like learning from other peoples real experience .... get some coaching!!! and a course!!

You will need to complete the Basic Handling Skills Test before you can even apply for the Learners Licence. Once you have applied, you sit the theory test (I would recommend purchasing the 'Roadcode for Motorcyclists' to brush up on your road law knowledge - or to learn if this is your first licence!)

You can do the BHS training and test on your bike (if you wanted to do that) or use my Tricker 250, solely up to you. I teach people with no prior experience right up to advanced riders.
