Begginer on a sportsbike, need advice? |
ok so im buying a hayabusa with my re-enlistment money. I KNOW its not a beginner bike, so please done try to explain that. I have my own reasons for getting it. My riding expeiriance consists os 4 yers of dirtbiking (custom XR350 was last bike). What do you recommend for building my skills? for example drills, country roads- road time, etc. I will be taking a motorcycle safety course also (required by military) Anyone have any advice that would help me to saty as safe as possible? While still building my skill base? anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. WOWSA YOWSA .Son, you just went from riding the old plow mule up to the pasture after a days plowing to jumping on a Brahma bull. That bike can turn you 10 times around Georgia before you know what happened!!! OK ,first you want to invest in some of that body armour at the cycle shop that makes you look like a ninja turtle,buy a full face helmet,and boots that strap up all the way to your knees. (After all,you spent all that money on the ride now spend it to protect your a---!! They are lite in the front so practice take-offs where the front end ain't jumpin' over your head and landing where your rear tire use to be. Braking: Practice this VEHEMITLY as the rear tire can come up over your head and land where your front tire use to be.They are lite in the rear end and I have seen guys flip forward trying to stop them . Lay down on the front end when you take off and sit up straight when you stop to put weight on the rear wheel No matter what pulls up beside you RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO TRY IT OUT!! Take the advanced riders skill course too as this will help you too. DO NOT try to immitate what you see in the movies. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS. Source(s): Ridin' for 37 yrs started out on a Sears 50cc honda and bought a Harley superglide 1200cc. So it can be done anything that will teach you to ride by leaning, and not turning the wheel Here's some advice: If your straight tell everyone you know that you are straght before you start to ride the bike. If your gay, don't worry about it. THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF!!! The motorcycle safety course will help you out alot............ it did wonders for me and I also had experience in riding. (I had to take it too.......Navy) Just keep your head out of your a55 and try to twice as alert as when you're in a car. I preferred country roads to help me build confidence. Some bike ya got there my freind. Try to find a local road course race track. Sometimes they let people go around them for a little green. Around here we have Virginia International Raceway people take a lot of different stuff there to "test and tune" sometime for free. I would also recomend some back roads that are not to dangerous but just enough for a good ride. Keep it between the ditches and the little one in the britches. L8R You have to have respect for your bike. I'm a girl and I ride. And trust me, there is a huge difference between girl riders and guy riders. For some reason, the only thing that interests guys is going 130 on the freeway. TAKE IT SLOW. It only takes one crash for you to gain respect for that busa. Those are fast bikes man. Always concentrate on whats ahead of you. Granted, theres gonna be lots of fly girls looking at you (cuz ur gonna be lookin hott on it) but you gotta keep your eyes on the road...even more than driving a car. Please ride for a few months before you take anyone else for a ride. Its a whole different ball game when theres a 150 lbs person on the back. Hope that helped! |
