Yo guys and girls, this be my second topic on the forums and wanted to update you, and maybe ask some questions.
So I rode my first bike (2008 CBR125 Rw7) back home 22miles the other day in the dark and wiiind - scary s#@t for me but I'm glad I did!
Then the day after that I went out on it an just circled some back roads behind where I live to get in touch a bit more with it. I eventually ballsed it up and told myself to ride into the city, which is only like 2 an a half miles but lots of traffic lights and 5+ roundabouts; and this ride was so good I didn't stall once or have any problems there or back, felt so chuffed!
Now today because I was feeling good and comfy with the bike I went out and did my circling the back roads and then went to a car park and practiced some slow speed control. Then I headed to the city again and stalled a handful of times in a lights queue but didn't cause any problems. Made it in and then when I headed home I stalled at some lights and this landed me stalled on a hill (not too big of a hill but still) anyway, it took me forever to get up that hill, aaanyway this story ain't that exciting, in short now heh I stalled a couple more times on the way home and it ended up feeling like not so good a day of riding. But alas! Tomorrow! I think I'm just annoyed I had one day which felt really good and then the day after I'm stalling all over the shop.
If this makes any sense and you can advise me I think I've just developed a little problem with moving off after I come to a stop; could be just a off day though lets hope! I hear you can get those.
Another note my theory test is in a week and I bought The Driving Test Success DVD I was advised to on here earlier, and I already have a Highway Code book, a hand me down from my Sister but it's revised 2004 I'm not sure as to how much it's changed since then if at all?? And I've got bookmarked some guys here some websites that are helpful, but anything else could be good..
I was also wondering if it's best to get a few lessons on the go now, whilst I'm still sponging up habits, what do you reckon? Thanks for reading if you made it through and like I always say I appreciate the help loads! Niiice One! |

clutch controll is the key plenty of revs and control your movement with the clutch, control your speed with the clutch not the throttle for slow speed , slow control etc..
Your stalling as your either letting the clutch out too sharply or you havent got enough revs simples..! ____________________ Fuelly My Z1000SX
