I have decided that I want to get a motorcycle. And have decided between a Ninja 400 or an Yamaha YZF R3 and planning to buy from a private seller on facebook marketplace. I have found 2 bikes, a 2016 YZF R3 with 10k KM, for $5.2k NZD or a …

2022年5月29日 · I look out for hazards way more and rarely drive distracted. I have had many close calls and learned a lot. Watch a bunch of crash vids (just reminds me that the risk is real), ride within your skill level and keep looking for opportunities to improve. Do frequent pre ride checks and get to know your bike in and out. Set up your suspension ...

I’ve been driving manual cars for a decade and used to ride road bikes so some skills transferred over, such as leaning, looking ahead of the turn, etc. I recommend taking the motorcycle safety course and then taking the time to practice around the block or parking lot until you feel confident to ride in the street or take the freeway.

2022年4月25日 · Eventually, I got to a point where I could ride on open roads and then I took my MSF course. The Grom they gave me legitimately felt like a bicycle. The first time I rode my own motorcycle on an open road, with no destination or exercises, was awesome. Never felt afraid or intimidated. Hopefully won't feel anything negative while riding ever.

It doesn't go upside down / invert. It doesn't have any long drops. It is a motorcycle themed ride, and leans into all of the turns. There are two elements that may be considered more intense.

2022年4月23日 · My first date with my son’s mom was a motorcycle ride through the mountains to see the fall foliage. But I kept riding a lot when I had young kids. I began taking my son to school on the back of a motorcycle, starting approximately the minute he was big enough to sit on the seat and reach the passenger pegs with his feet.

2023年6月16日 · I live in Japan. I ride my motorcycle every day as I do not own a car. It rains. Alot. Sometimes it even snows which is a whole 'nother monster. Yes, you can ride in the rain. You are responsible for taking the extra steps necessary to protect yourself. Personally, I always wear a full rain suit and rain boots as well as waterproof gloves.

We did about 1,000 miles over 3 days on naked sport bikes, trying to average around 200-300 miles a day and each day was a full days ride. MAKE SURE YOU HIT THE TUNNEL OF TREES!!! Literally one of the best roads in the US to ride. Absolutely beautiful and right alone Lake Michigan. It’s a single lane road that twists and turns like a snake.

Average ride is probably around 100km, but they range from 10-20 km for basic transport, 50-100 for joyriding and up to 500 km for vacation trips and similar. Riding season lasts from april to october but even during the winter there are some sunny, dry days that are fine for riding.
