What kind of motorcycle? How long? I’m thinking of buying my first bike. My dream is a Ducati Monster, but for a first bike....eh. I don’t want to buy a banger though.
Are bikes really that difficult to learn on? I’ve been driving manuals for twenty eight years. Any advice? Also seems that bikers are their own clique. I’m not very social, am I expected to group up with other riders?
I do and this September will be 3 years since I began riding on my own motorcycle. I currently ride a Kawasaki ZX10R. Been riding for years but it was always on the back of my dads bike. This in turn helped me out so I didn't find it difficult to learn.
I'd recommend taking a riding course. You can really get a feel of whether or not you'd actually want to buy one and if you drop their bike, you don't have to pay for anything. Depending on which one you take, you use their bikes and it beats screwing up one that you yourself purchased. When riding, NEVER ASSUME what anyone is going to do, ride defensively, always stay alert, are a few of many tips that I can think of. You don't have to be in a group or anything, hell I ride by myself mostly even though I am in a group and also ride with my dad. I just stick my left hand out as a wave to another rider when I am passing them. I'd say go for it.
