Well Sunday I took my frist riding lesson. It was great to finally get to try riding! I did well until I accidentally dumped the clutch and gave it too much gas. I ended up showing everyone how to pop the front wheel of a GZ250 a foot and a half off the ground! lol...maybe I should re-think this motorcycle thing :D I rcovered well though, no one hurt, just a little extra excitment out on the range.

Girl, you're kidding, right? Within the 1st 2 weeks of riding, I've dropped my bike 5 times (3 of which I really consider drops, the other 2, I laid it down because of trying to push it around). By then, I was getting frustrated and had thought the same exact thing. Riding is way too much fun, though... and besides I'm persistant and stubborn. I did pop a mini-wheelie on accident one time too, but it didn't go nearly as high as your's. :clap: ;)

Good luck with the rest of the class!

Just had my first lesson on my roommate's bike. He pushed me around for a few passes, and then was kind enough to let me ride around in first gear for a bit. No wheelies though :thumbsup:
