Default How do I ride a motorcycle?

Looking for some advice... Do I face forward or backwards? Do I put my feet or hands on the handlebars? Do I tell the hot chicks I plan to pick up to hang onto those long shiney things on the side that make noise? Do I really need wheels?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, I already tried the search but couldn't find the answers to my questions.

You tell the chicks to reach around up front and grab the "saddlehorn".

Oh yeah, I was also told that I have to wear a certain brand of jeans and jacket. If I don't, the cage people will kill me? What's that all about?

Alot of people that come to this forum are complete and total "newbies". Sometimes their questions can appear to be stupid but we shouldn't forget that we were all beginner bikers at some point in our lives. (I guess I'm entitled to forget because I was a beginner over 65 years ago.)

I'm curious why you would waste your precious talented time making criticizing remarks about what you think are stupid posts.!!!

You read waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much into it. It was just a joke. I'm in a goofy mood, that's all. [8D]

It's just like riding a bicycle, but different.
