I would suggest learning on a dirtbike first. You can lay it over and not give 2 thoughts about it. It will teach you throttle control, breaking, and turning. Its much lighter and forgiving.

Now I wouldnt suggest you ride a bike to "look like a cool chick" that you saw riding one. If she rides much longer...that pretty face may be messed up due to the idiot driver that changed lanes and didnt see her. Laying a bike over at 70 mph never ends well.

Youtube motorcycle accidents. This alone will deter you.

Well put JRod..... This is the only reason I haven't bought a bike... other than I prolly wouldn't be able to take a pole out with a bike:::not as much fun!::::

If anyone could do it....I bet you could.

well its just not worth it i have had street bikes,dirt bikes,enduros,a crotch rocket,and even a harley. i did manage to avoid other drivers by always making sure they see me but if you push them to the limit as i always did you will get skinned up. the better you can handle one the harder you will push it then something unexpected will come up then you go down

for example you will try to ride the wheely longer than the last one or try to make the corner faster than before.btw i laid every bike i owned down at least once and the dirt bike started buying extra parts for the next crash
