It's been so long since I first started riding bikes, that I'd forgotten what a thrill it was - so much more fun than cars or bicycles.
I still think some of the best learning (and fun) comes from dirtbikes though. My first bike was a road bike, but that didn't stop me taking it in the dirt. Just have to be a bit more careful with the non-grippy tyres on grass and mud.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

I learnt very quickly about grass... And learnt to avoid any little patches in the centre of our driveway... *cough*

Yep I was putting it straight from 1st to neutral for some time before I got the 'knack' - its esp. easy on the RG. Having said that I have managed it a bit on the GSX too.... And accidently put the bike in nuetral instead of 2nd gear.... (How embarassing)
When I picked the bike up I stalled it constantly too - keep forgetting how many revs it likes!
Have you had it over 8k on the tach yet? Be careful - I'm sure you'll swear (in a ladylike way) like I did!

I cussed falling off so I'm sure I'd cuss worse than a sailor.. Haven't done that as yet... Dan did though... He decided to hop off before he broke my new toy.. lol

This could be me writing that, Kittie! I was a real novice when I began riding - and on the same type of bike too! The first time I took it out alone I got to a set of traffic lights and spent so much time trying to find neutral that I fell over - because I'd forgotten to put a foot down! A guy called Allan Kirk (who runs some motorcycle training) took me in hand and for weeks he and a mate would come and take me out for practice in an industrial area. I still managed to drop it a few more times, usually when trying to find that elusive neutral, but after a few weeks it began to feel exciting rather than nervewracking when I got the bike out. It doesn't take long so keep practising and soon you will forget those nervous starts and stops!
Hey, I don't think I'm the only one who is proud of you! After all, you like bikes AND cats...
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

Only help I have at the moment is my mum and my partner... Good thing is my partners been teaching me so far.. As much as what he knows... I'm happy learning round him... Cause I know he won't laugh at me... Mum sits down with us and discusses this and that... And offers as much advice as she can...This could be me writing that, Kittie!

A guy who used to ride with my old man has offered to take me out... So I can follow him and watch how he rides.... Could be quite helpful I think... So when I'm confident enough I'll give him a call...
Oh theres a fair few who are proud..!!!! And a few who have made not so nice comments... But its my life.. You either like me for who/what I am... Or you don't.. Loved by some hated by many. Meanwhile I'll continue having fun....
Love my kittys...

LOL, know the feeling - I'm very much loved by few right now! Hey, but the cats still love me - "she who has possession of the can opener!"Oh there's a fair few who are proud..!!!!

Be careful following someone though - fine if they take into account the fact you are a learner and ride accordingly, but they may tend to forget that and travel at the speed they normally do. I was following my husband once and thought I would brake when he did. Except at that stage he had been riding for about 20 years longer than me... and when he braked was WAY later than when I felt comfortable! I only did that on one corner and then decided to brake a lot earlier!
