Dont worry about it. Just take it one small step at a time and it will come to you.

 

hardest thing to do is to relax. If you can manage to not overthink the excercises you will get it quiker. Sometimes better to just do it without thinking about it to much.

 

That's why you take the class. To learn how to drop someone else's motorcycle.

They don't teach you how to drop your own motorcycle, so you won't be able to do it.

You'll be fine.

When my wife took the class, I took it with her. She rode down with me on the back of my Road Glide. The instructor seemed to target me, and when it came time for the braking drills I just hammered those little brakes on the little 250cc bike for all they were worth and I was stopping on a dime before it was even minted. The instructor saw me and came over and told me I wasn't stopping smoothly enough.

When we got suited up to leave after he'd signed their Certificates, he shared more of his infinite wisdom with us when he told me my RG two-up would ride differently than the school's 250's riding solo. One of the other students said something like " we get to share all of this wisdom for only $275 ? Such a deal ! "

 

Wait a second, (and honestly I am not talking **** here) you "dropped the bike twice" and you didnt get removed from the class?

By the way good luck tomorrow and just relax and pay attention and you will be fine

 

Relax and be hydrated. As a rider coach, most people have problems from over thinking or trying too hard to get it right or getting mad they about not being perfect. What did they say about the second time you dropped a bike?

Dont forget what you learned is a foundation and you have to keep learning and improving skills.

 

It was the first time you did something..... you are learning new "skills".....take a deep breath, and relax. Pay attention to the instructors, and remember once you pass the test (license waiver not withstanding) you are only "qualified" to ride in circles in an empty parking lot.
Take the time to hone these beginner skills....this is just the first step in learning how to ride.
Have fun... enjoy the class... learning can be a LIFE-LONG process.

 

I can't speak for other instructors, but mine were really cool about it, they run up checked on me, made sure the bike was ok of course lol, then explained me to what happened and how to prevent it. I call it a learning experience I'll never hammer the front brake when turning again that's for sure.

 

Keep on practicing, it will come. You've got the right attitude to succeed.

 

I definitely don't see me doing much more then riding in circles for awhile after I get a bike. There are some great backroads near my house with little to no traffic that I'll be riding on for awhile. Maybe to work in the mornings after I get a little more comfortable, leave a little early to get started before traffic because I only live 7 miles from my office.

 

You've learned alot already. That front brake is not your friend when steering the bike!
