Anyone have any funny or otherwise experiences the first time riding a motorcycle?
Here's mine....
my brother had a 83 yamaha xs400 special and offered me to take it for a spin and of course I obliged. I was maybe 15 years old and lived in toronto-Dufferin and Dundas area on a very small side street cars parked on both sides didn't have a clue how to work a clutch and gears so he gives me the run down and I get on thinking I'll give it a go.I couldn't take off stalling it constantly so he pushes me to get off, so now I'm moving and I'm thinking wow this is cool.Get to the first stop sign and don't stop in fear of stalling and make the turn I proceed down the street to the next stop sign now I have to stop due to traffic.I gotta make a left now so throttle up release the clutch perfect I'm moving everything going great except didn't turn and smacked some poor guys parked car on the left side.I'll never forget the look on my brothers face when he saw me walking around the corner "Wheres my bike?"Anyway I was hooked
So lets hear some of yours
