Street Bike

[Danzanzio]

YEAH! I think my sister is going to let me drive her street bike today! I told her that I have driven a dirk bike and I did really good on that and I know how to work a clutch so she is thinkin about it right now. Gotta wait till she gets home form work tho.


(If you guys can't tell I'm only 14...15 in a couple months tho)


So yeah just wanted to tell you guys that and who else owns or rides a streetbike that could give me some advice on what not to do and what to do.

start slow... get used to it first.

[Danzanzio]

what about turns... how do you turn while going slow?

[trick250r]

i cant really explain... you just have to feel what the bike is doing and figure out how to control it.

You obvilously don't know what you're doing do you I'm not trying to be a prick or nothing I just don't want to see you get hurt man asphalt hurts more then dirt, a street bike is different from a dirt bike. If you do ride it be careful because they have a lot of power then what you're use to so just take it way easy at frist and you should be alwrite.

Use common sense and don't panic. You should be fine if you do those two things.

[mac450]

what kind of bike is it?

[GPracer2500]

For turning and curves, two important things: 1) Countersteer and 2) look where you want the bike to go. The faster your going the farther ahead you must keep your point of focus. Don't stare at the patch of road right in front of the bike or you'll wind up making herky-jerky turns/arcs.

If you're not sure what countersteering is then just Google it. You should find a wealth of info.
