greetings from elmira
Learning on a big bike adds the extra element of weight to managing throttle and braking.
Parking lot riding practice is a good and safer. One thing I do is blip the throttle lightly first, Then ease out on the clutch and increase the throttle. good luck, you are in for the time of your life. JohnC

Thank you all so much! I am already so much better. Using the rear break is working great for me at the take
off. |
