Just got done with my first motorcycle lesson. In the rain!
It was a blast. It’s a very powerful feeling, being on a motorcycle, even the small one the motorcycle school is using. I’ve done straight lines, turns, circles, figure eights, upshifting and downshifting. The toughest have been right turns (I kept pulling back on the throttle and accelerating) and downshifting (I lack a certain smoothness).
I’ve got one more prep lesson before my full-on basic rider course, which will allow me to waive the road test for my motorcycle license. The plan has been to get a scooter, but I might very well go for a bike instead.
I learned to ride motorcycle this spring too. It’s a lot of fun!
