Do you know how to ride a motorcycle?

[Whatthefluff]

[MrOracle]

There are few land-based vehicles that I don't know how to operate.

Suzuki GSX-R 1100

I've also driven these:

SCCA racing

and these:

"Transfer" tractor-trailer.

and these:

Industrial snow-blower

and these:

Diesel-powered construction lift

... among many others, that also includes a fire truck, a bus, a number of varying types of man-lifts and fork-lifts, tractors and skid-steers, and once even a stage coach.

My bucket list of vehicles left to drive is pretty short; mostly I'd like to try one of those giant mining dump trucks - the kind where you have to climb 2 flights of stairs to get up to the cab.

[ohshee]

Yes I can Ride. I think I have written for probably over 30 something years I've raced for 20 years desert Motocross flat track and Speedway I had a street bike for a matter of 5 hours LOL I'm just not disciplined enough to interact with cars. I mean if I absolutely had to I could do it got my first street bike was a k z 9000 and it was a crotch rocket it would just get up and go and I just love that speeds way too much

[Lucy68]

I ride 4 wheelers but I do fancy a man that does know how to ride. It's not a requirement but a bonus 😅

[laurieluvsit]

I just ride on the back with my F W B but Ms @dustybiker knows how!

... lol

[Quidthonian]

Nope, and I'm not interested.
I got a car licence, with a trailer permit.
I got a C+E license (18-wheeler for the Americans)
I had a student pilot's license (expired 11 years ago). With 10 solo hours.
I desire a boat license
I desire a steam-locomotive license.
Not interested in motorcycles, scooters or bicycles.

[Lliam]

Yes. I've driven Honda and Kawasaki street bikes before and I've driven off road on bikes before, too. I've never driven a Harley, though.

Bikes were never particularly my thing, so I never owned one.

[dustybiker]

I ride 95% more than I drive my truck. Usually an hour and a half to three hours in the evenings up the canyon roads, aside regular needed travels. Therapy and fresh air treatments. Nothing beats it. Come home smelling like the back of the wind.

[cth96190]

I have had a motorcycle licence since 1975.
My current motorcycle is a Yamaha knockoff of a Harley Davidson.
It has a shaft drive (greater mechanical efficiency than a belt, or chain), is better engineered and has better build quality.

[n4meAL]

yes could , i like classic motorcycle, i can't drive a car, i even get drunk sometimes when i use the car

[TommyMountainFigure]

I should hope so, otherwise it's sitting in the garage for nothing!

[FunkyMonkee]

I know the basic physics of it but I've never driven one. Only rode on one, once, and it scared me (we almost wrecked) and will never ride another.

[Flower7]

Nope! I’ve ridden on the back of one, but never tried to drive one.

[northerngal]

Dirt bikes. Never ridden on the street... too many crazies out there.

[Vikkrram]

Yes of course i do from i guess grade 9or 10th i know how to ride it.

[exitseven]

Yes, before I got married I got my learners permit and I was learning to ride. My future wife said it was a dealbreaker.

[Red_Arrow]

Yes, it is easy. Just put training wheels on it and have fun!
Jk, jk!

[wingattebaby16]

rode a harley with my 42yo boyfriend when i was a teenager.. omg.. it was awesome!~

[Themostabsurd]

What if you two had run into Medusa while on the Harley?

[Kaamraj]

Yes I live in India, here owning a motorcycle is very common and outnumbers car ownership.

[Dargil]

I have had several. I have probably ridden 50,000 miles and had 300 mile days.

[DeeToPlay]

Yes I can do that and most who knew me don't know that I have that skill.

[Likes2drive]

Yes , I got my license at 19 years old, I rode for years but I don’t have one anymore, would like to someday again

[douride2]

I have been riding motorcycles since be fore I was legal to drive. About 30 years now

[bolverk]

Yes, I've ridden motorcycles for over 45 years, only one accident.

[CuriousMufuxka]

On the back? Yes! I held on when I was 14. On the bars? Nah, you don't this almost 30 years later mufucka biking anyone down the highway!

[EnglishEuropean]

I don't own a motorcycle but I've ridden pillion and I can drive a car. How hard can it be to ride a bike?

[ewok737]

I started street riding in 1972 .
I have 6 bikes, 5 BMW's and one Moto Guzzi.
Ride every day.

[oldermale]

Yes I do... been riding them for over 20yrs roughly and yes I have one atm... 😊

[zagor]

Somewhat. Been so long I don't know how I would do.

[msc545]

Yes, I know how, and I don't do this anymore - Los Angeles is too dangerous a place for this!

[Waldoe]

yes, when I graduated From H. S. I got a brand new 1968 Honda motorcycle

[Anonymous]

No, I don't. When a close friend in high school died riding a motorcyle, I lost all interest...

[weysally]

yes I can ride a motor bike, full licenses,

[t_time]

I rode dirt bikes but not a street bike

[Prettygurl12]

No. No desire to learn.

[PhenomenalQueen]

No but I would like to learn.

[TrueConfection]

No, but they look fun.

[petitedollbabee]

No but I’ve always wanted to learn

[zeitgeist057]

what's stopping you?

[petitedollbabee]

Money and I don’t think I weigh enough or I’m tall enough to be able to keep myself upright on the bike while it’s sitting still.

[zeitgeist057]

You may have to use this technique: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sHm_wizutuA

or maybe these tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRK4vD8-xZk

I know my Buell Blast (a 500cc) had option for a different seat that was lower. There are also bikes for kids or smaller people, so there could be something for you. What is your height and weight?

[petitedollbabee]

I didn’t know there were bikes for smaller people, so that could work. I’m 4’8 and 53kg.

[zeitgeist057]

Hmmm yes, you really are a petitedollbabee:) and may have to adjust your riding style a bit, but I think totally doable! As for your weight, I think you might actually benefit from having better gas mileage and increased speed from being lighter. A motorcycle’s stability comes from speed more than from weight.

[zeitgeist057]

Anyway, if you want to do it, I say don’t give up on your dream! My first motorcycle was a $600 1984 Kawasaki 440 LTD, and it was a perfect old cheap bike to learn on.

[MTC29]

I do. I was licensed to ride a Motocycle in 1982.

[Lyndsielee666]

Do dirt bikes count 🤔

[Sabretooth]

nice hair.

[Lyndsielee666]

@Sabretooth lmfao thank you

[Sabretooth]

no problem... so, do you use scissors to cut it? or, do you just take a weedwhacker to it?

[Lyndsielee666]

@Sabretooth a use a ride on lawn mower

[Lyndsielee666]

I** 😬

[Sabretooth]

lol. that kinda joke was inspired by Lorna Dane from the Gifted... you look like her.

[Sabretooth]

Reminds me of when I wanted to dye my hair Green. Had a nice outfit to go with it.

[Renaynay]
