I Bought a Motorcycle...Now What? (My First Ride)

As an experienced rider, cherish these moments, feel the adrenaline, and enjoy the learning! I miss this feeling of not knowing and uncertainty when I ride my bike.

You're adorable! "I bought myself this bike but I have no idea how to ride it..."😍😍

take a rider course and keep at it as long as you have the desire to ride keep on keepin on best wishes

My goodness you are beautiful... And you did so good on learning how to ride. The fact that you learned the function of the clutch of when and how to press it is a huge key to learning your motorcycle. Now its all practice and repetition. Way to go!

How tall are you.
My gf is really short but wants to ride.

❤❤😎

It's great that you got a motorcycle. I'm 64, and have been riding dirt bikes since age 8, and street bikes since age 16. I got my license on my 16th birthday. It will take years to really become really proficient on it. All my dirt bike experience helped a lot, before I started riding in traffic. The hardest thing to learn is not how to control the motorcycle, but how to deal with traffic. To everybody out there in a 4 wheeled vehicle, you are invisible.

The front brake is probably the most important control on a bike. You need to learn how to modulate it while coming to a stop from highway speeds in the shortest time possible without locking up the front wheel. Hopefully that bike doesn't have ABS. You have not learned how to ride a motorcycle until you have learned how to ride one without ABS properly.

Very cool video. it is awesome to see you learning. you made me laugh this morning. Thank You. 😄

The bike is perfect for you.

Nice ride lessons & video 👍😊

hell yeah! i just did the same thing, bought a harley lowrider without a class or license and just trying to learn as fast as i can! love my bike! sick to see you doing this!

ASTONISHING...THIS CREATURE HAS NO SOUL...HOW TO CALL THESE CREATURES...?! FRIGHTENING...

The person behind the camera has no place to teach you how to ride a mc. First thing, wear the damn gear, it will save your skin from shaving off your bones. Riding a MC is fun but this is not a toy as most people sees it. Enjoy.

I would not ride any motorcycle with those handlebars! Designed by Vlad the Impaler.

Don't ride alone unless you can pick that bike up by yourself. Full face helmet, protect your pretty face. Jacket with Armour leatherboots a must .... always ride with at least 1 other person. People are nuts out there

Congratulations, but get leather jacket, cloves calps and boots. Better to have then not ride safe from a old man on a harley

i love how happy you look :)

I have no idea how to drive a manual and also don't have one HAHAHHA but this motivated me to grind. I want a cruiser as well.

Great Job. Your ready for the 1100cc.

Nice bike. Beautiful you ❤

Good afternoon. Thank you for this information. Be safe.

GET GEAR nothing but get some gear!

i just got a 2 stroke converted bike (been riding it for about 2 and a half weeks now) and i love riding it lol... I cant wait to get a real motorcycle but the biggest deterrence for me is the gears... i rode a motorcycle up a mountain in thailand once

I got a Kawasaki eliminator 450, and I had someone explain to me how to use everything. After riding for about an hour I was cruising but struggling with the stopping and takeoff at signs. Hopefully a nother day and I'll have it all down

Had I been there, I'd have told you to hold the front brake and lean to one side and then the other (while I stood on the leaning side). Learning the weight, and how to manipulate the size (girth and length) is very important. But you've chosen a bike with a low seat height, so at least you're "flat footed" on the ground, and that's important,😊

I am looking at getting my first bike ever and this video just gave me the motivation I needed to go for it and learn. Total Beginner I look forward to this new journey and community.

To sum up. Start of on tar with absolutely no protective gear

Damn! Buying a motorcycle without knowing how to ride it? Do you think you are a middle aged man?

Invest In bicycle and learn how to ride it first, your going to get hurt. Then take in some info on what and how a motorcycle operates, Mechanics, function and so on. I started when I was a kid, dirt bikes and such, stay off the hyways until you have alot of practice, people in their cars will kill you.

My Vulcan S stood in my garage for 4 weeks after I bought it because I had never ridden before and didn't have a licence. Once I passed the legal basic training on a different bike I paid the instructor to take me out for a day, which is the first time I rode the Vulcan S. I didn't have a clue, I even struggled with simple turns at junctions and actually stalled on a roundabout during rush hour traffic. 1 year and 12kkm later I ride every day and love every moment of it.

great choice! best choice

300 is a most forgiving bike it loves its rider.

Please please get proper riding gear and WEAR IT. Such a shame to shred perfectly good skin.

Get the right gear first leather jacket cloves boots helmet and riding jeans and go slow 🐌, good luck and welcome to the club

nice. I just got my permit 2 days ago. now I just need a bike haha

You did very well!

Living it
Loving it
Riding it👍🏻

You don't have to know how to drive a motorbike to get a permit?

Your bike fits you well, good decision, stay with it, you’ll do great. Be safe.

I love how excited and happy you are riding for the first time!! Good for you!

I’ve decided to get my licence and the rebel is my bike of choice as well. Went for it purely on the looks but was happy to find that all my research points to it being a solid little bike.

Great job!! Keep up the great work and remember to just take it slow!

a pretty girl like you will not have a shortage of help!
my problem with that is im in my 70s and im tired of getting hit on by pretty girls! people and thier problems no!
you go girl your a natural!!!!

I bought a similar bike. I am going to suggest you wear gloves. Also buy a full face helmet and not the one you are wearing. If you get thrown off your bike your face could hit the pavement. My friend has a friend who wore a helmet like yours and the clear plastic snap on face shield came off. He rubbed his face so hard and long on the pavement he ground down his nose. He didn't have a nose anymore Brad told me. I am just saying... As someone once asked me if you fall off the bike.... what do you stick out first? I replied, "oh my hands.".. as I looked at them without gloves on.

Good on ya girl. Welcome to the club. I'll give you a couple months then you will want a bigger faster one. Believe me. Anything under a 750 is weak.

First timers, esp if nervous should NOT learn to ride a motorcycle like this on the very first try… it’s too easy to panic, get fixated & grip the accelerator.
You should put the bike in neutral, and with it OFF, get someone to push you around, and practice braking.

And please wear proper protective gear, it’s an absolute must! Your skin loses in battles with the pavement even at very low speeds

Does anyone knows about the boots she wears?

The rebel is a beautiful machine

Rea watch the video from a You Tube member called " Be The Boss Of Your Own Bike " he explains how to use the clutch and the throttle and release the clutch slowly to make the bike roll remember learning to use the clutch will make the bike roll faster or slower and your back break should be used for now when needed.
