General question
Q. I am interested in buying a motorcycle, but have never learnt
how to ride one so would like to do that before I make the financial commitment.
Will appreciate any advice you can give?
A. If you are not sure that you will stick with motorcycling,
or simply don't know what sort of bike to buy, then start learning on someone
else's bike and see how you go from there. I can provide a bike that you can
learn on (as can most motorcycle rider training schools). If, later you decide
to get your own bike, I offer advice on what you should buy and can continue
teaching you to ride on your own bike.
FAQs about
protective motorcycle wear
Q. Do I need to have my own helmet and protective clothing if
I want to learn how to ride a motorcycle?
A. most motorcycle schools will provide at least helmets
and gloves for their students (I certainly do). Otherwise there is no need to
purchase any special clothing to begin with. Just make sure you wear full body
covering ie. jacket to suit the weather or at least a long sleeve shirt (preferably
one made of sturdy material), long pants, enclosed shoes or boots. Your first lesson(s) will be held in a car park or quiet cul de sac and you are unlikely
to go a lot faster than walking pace. Of course, if you wish to buy your own
gear at any stage, I can offer advice in this regard also.
