Question

Help answer this question below.

To motorcycle riders: I'm thinking of getting a bike license and a kawasaki ninja. Would get training, etc. But, how different is it to ride a bike than drive a car? How do you handle rough roads? Any advice? Should I stick with 4 wheels or move to 2?

    Motercycles are dangerous as was mentioned above. I grew up around them, and would recommend really thinking your decision. When riding on busy streets motercycles and bicycles are the last things cars, trucks, and 18 wheelers see.

    If you still want a bike I would suggest taking a safety class first where you get your license at the end. That way you will be equipt with more information than the average rider who just jumps into riding. My step-brother took one with the idea of getting a motercycle at the end, and decided that he didn't enjoy riding and that it indeed was dangerous.

    Good luck with your decision, bikes are fun but dangerous.... Get a good helmet

    • I'm all for the safety course and wouldn't start riding without it. I was just under the impression that I had to use my own bike during the course. Hence, I'd need to choose and buy one. Do they provide bikes for me to use? I may end up taking the same course as your step-brother, but I at least want to know how to ride. If, for some reason, I have no choice but to ride a bike, I want to know how to do it properly.

      Thanks for your input.

    • The one my step-brother took provided bikes, they were a smaller bike, not sure what kind. I would really try to find one that provides bikes for you to use so that you don't spend money on a bike that you may not enjoy riding. Another thing I would suggest is although sport bikes look really cool, and are fast they have the disadvandage of being bent over the bike therefore making it harder to be aware of what is going on around you... just a thought. You may want to consider getting something where you sit more upright as a first bike untill you get used to riding on busy streets.
