Started to learn to ride
Started learning to ride today.
it isn't much, but i drove my buddy's Honday Metroplatin today for a while. i just wanted to get the balance and turning down on it.
I know it doesn't have the power of a motorcycle, but i wanted to get off to some kind of a start.

Sorry for not ever being on a bike and just jumping on with no idea on what i am doing. How stupid of me to not just get on a 600cc bike and go.

Good start... one peice of advice... learn how to countersteer and what it is. It will be more evident on a real bike when you're going over 15mph... glad you're gettin started

That's not what I meant, I just don't see any point to this thread. Your story is pointless, yes you rode a scooter, you just made a thread to tell us that you rode a scooter?!?!?

You weigh too much, you'll upset the natural balance of the earth if you ride. You also might kill a bunch of birds cause you're way too tall. I think 4'5 is a perfect size for a rider.
