Hi Again Everyone,

I hope you all are enjoying the Labor Day Weekend!

I just wanted to mention that yes, Danny and I (Tonya) are sharing an account/username. He will set up his own account soon. I hope I we did not cause to much confusion. :-/

Well, I did not get to much practice in. We were only in the 60's this weekend, which is not so bad for Wisconsin, but the wind has also been horrible the last two days. I am hopeful to get out and practice tomorrow.

Danny did try to teach me to ride before I posted for help a few days ago, but that did not go well. He made me very nervous. Boyfriends, are sometimes not so patient. I dropped the bike and then he got scared that I'd hurt myself, so that was the end of lesson one lol!!

I did take a look at a few counter steering videos. I understand the concept, but it is still a bit confusing. I hope to take another look see. Thanks for the info.

Well, again thanks all for the help everyone. Maybe the next time I post, I'll be a pro!

Stay Safe All

Tonya

Hello Again Everyone!

Wow! Thanks for the great advice! Now I I am ready to get out there and try again. I live in Milwaukee, WI, so I don't have much time hey? lol!!

Milwaukee has a big bike rally going on this weekend. Nice seeing all the cool bikes.

I am able to get both feet on the ground so that is a good thing.

I am going to give it another try and work on it all weekend. I will let you all know how it goes. Again, thanks so much for the super great advice!

Oh and yes, it is a nice looking bike, a real head turner BUT, keep in mind, that is the BEFORE picture, lol!!!!

Happy Labor Day Everyone!

Hello Everyone!

My name is Tonya! I recently bought a 250cc Scooter and I am afraid that I made a terrible mistake!

I guess like a lot of folks, I thought that since I know how to ride a bicycle, an 250cc scooter (JCL-MP250A) would be a breeze to learn to ride. Boy! Was I Wrong!

The first day, I was just about in tears because I could not even balance myself up. That darn bike is heavy! The second day, I was able to balance myself and the bike. I even took it for a few trips around the block. Now, I am having problems taking off from a complete stop and making left turns from a complete stop. Boy, I thought I'd be enjoying to wide open rode by now, but well, NOT!!! >:(

I decided to enroll in a riders safety coures so I know that will help a lot. I never learned how to ride a motorcycle. In the mean time, this bike is my only form of transportation and I have a few weeks before my class is to start. Should I wait or should I keep trying to ride? Any suggestions as to taking off from a complete stop and making left turns from a complete stop? Should I start with an 150cc or 50cc bike? Help!!

Thanks in Advance
Tonya
