I want to learn
 

Since Phil24_7 got his bike, and i have become a pillion i have really enjoyed the whole biking thing!! I would like to learn but can barely hold his bike up, my feet just reach the ground and im an average (woman) driver!! Can you be a complete novice and still ride a bike (one with a motor)??? :confused:

Well, Phil managed it!
:D:D:D:D

Now then Mrs 3 day week,

Never mind all this nonsense about bikes. What when there's all that washing and ironing to do? Not forgetting the hoovering and dusting. Your fella works very hard and deserves his relaxation on his bike. Thankyou.;)

Seriously, though.............why shouldn't you. People who have never driven or ridden before manage it, and if the SV is a bit tall for you, there are other bikes you should find easier, Go for it!!!

Very true, however he is a very competant driver, unlike myself, i reverse into things even when i see them there!!! And yes...i am blonde!!!:geek:

Re: I want to learn
 

You can get the bike lowered and the seat scooped out so it would be easier for you to reach the ground and keep the bike upright. But any big bike is going to feel heavy and cumbersome to start off with. If you learn to ride you'll start off on a much smaller less intimidating bike.

It's ok, you don't have reverse on (normal) bikes.

3 days a week my ****!! And he works hard sometimes!! Besides, im a woman, i can multi task, work, house-keeping and learning to ride - piece of cake!!!

Well before i did my training i couldnt handle the bike at all, weight, power, cornering etc. Now i can hold the thing up on me knee, just about get round corners :lol: and shh about power.
