Easiest way to learn how to ride a geared bike i think is buy starting with rolling of the clutch, when the bike starts to move just hold the clutch in that position until you're going along at a slow speed.

I wasn't taught this but i think it would of been easier then telling me to let the clucth & throttle out at the same time..

How about just in a bike helmet, boots and gloves?

I can drive manual cars so I couldnt see a problemo with it on a bike. Dose it somehow have a signal type thing to show which gear your in? Or do you simply feel by where the gear stick (or what ever its called) is lol.
Im all for going down there to collect, gives me time to ajust and learn comming back. Just dont wanna bottle it once im there.

[Whosthedaddy]

No gear numbers I'm afraid, so its down to the old grey matter to remember what gear you are in.

Why is there a huge comedy comb stuck on the side of that NSR?

The hardest thing about gears is slow speed clutch control. Its the same as in a car, find the biting point and slowly let it out whilst balancing it with the revs.

Just practice it up and down the road a couple of times before you set off.

Just dont dump the clutch with loads of revs or you may be sorry.

I find that its quite easy to get carried away up shifting in town and then get bolloxed when you come to a round about as you start frantically stamping on the gear lever to get the revs up to take the turn.

As Bella said, just listen to the engine.

Oh yeah, they don't like slow moving traffic, so try and keep it in second when the road allows.....

Louise, this was something i was really worried about before i went for my CBT (knowing i was doing it on a geared bike) but theres really nothing to worry about. Just make sure your clutch hand releases smoothly and slowly (don;t worry about "riding" the clutch as you would in a car, as its designed to take it). One thing i'd always advise in is to always make sure you stop in 1st (even if it means edging forward 1/2 a ft to make sure), that way you're ready to go as soon as you need to. You'll be fine chick
