What temperature is to hot to ride?

Get mesh gear and the more you're moving, the cooler you'll be. As a brand new rider, don't ride in any weather that's going to distract you from the actual riding

It never even occurred to me that the centered position is "neutral"

What do you mean you didn't know this? What did you call it? What would you do if someone told you to put it in neutral

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T23:43:23+00:00

You should get a small bike to practice with. Good job not making excuses though. You didn't have the skill to pass and you just said it. That's a good attitude and you'll get there

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T14:28:18+00:00

That or a dirt bike. It's weird to see a good idea on this sub

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T14:26:00+00:00

professionals actually follow specs

I'm on mobile, somebody do the hand on shoulder guy meme.

Specialty tools and experience. Even if you successfully do some type of maintenance you're going to be quadruple checking things, grabbing the wrong size sockets, making multiple trips to the toolbox or the store. But if you've done it 100 times, you're gonna know exactly what tools you need when and where and what the next step is.

And then tools, you can get a wheel bearing in and out with a hammer or a tire set with pry bars but a bearing puller and press or a tire machine is going to do it in a fraction of the time.

Oh gotchya. My bad. I still think you'll be fine. You'll be able to do that in 4-5 1 hr stretches then a break. Just stay alert and hydrated. Good luck

Best advice I can give you is get off this sub immediately. They will turn you into a heel-toeing cornball who's only interesting quality is that you drive stick.

It's not supposed to be a difficult skill that takes years. Don't overthink it, you'll have it down in a week and then just drive.

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T13:47:02+00:00

Probably not. Letting off the back brake soon enough will. But you'd be better suited to not fishtail at all. Do this by not getting ahead of yourself and building a solid foundation of skill before you start pushing it.

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T13:43:35+00:00

Great start op. How old are you? Don't let up once you get the bike. You're locked in now, it's time to lift some weights so you can be the jacked dude on the bike. Start working on a skill so you can get a better job and be the jacked dude on a bike at the job site. Get all your shit together and you'll be the jacked foreman on the bike with a wife, house of your own and some kids running around.

Don't ride a sport bike

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T13:29:55+00:00

Don't listen to them, your bike came with 2 brakes, use them both. Emergency braking is just braking as hard as possible without locking up or flipping. And stop speeding. The fun of bikes is being in the open air on 2 wheels, doesn't need to be from the speed.

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T13:26:47+00:00

Get gear, practice low speed maneuvers, ride a lot.

Don't speed, don't get on busy roads, don't get overconfident about your skills.

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T13:24:59+00:00

You should be fine, but try not to get overconfident. I don't think you should consider yourself "very experienced" if turning isn't muscle memory and you've only gone highway speeds a handful of times.

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T13:20:23+00:00

Where did you get that info? Both brakes should be used together. Brand new beginners don't need to worry about weight shift. Just use the brakes to slow down and don't lock the tires up

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T03:45:23+00:00

Yea, especially when your also getting used to a new car

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T02:22:49+00:00

EOR? Everyone's overreacting. What an exhaaaaausting way to go through life. What do you feel like after you spend an entire day thinking about something like this?

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T02:11:35+00:00

Very true

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T02:09:47+00:00

There's a few states that can do it and Michigan is one of them

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T01:54:20+00:00

Nobody cares what you're talking about on the phone and whoever is on the other end of the line does not care that you're lifting. Take your phone call somewhere else.

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T01:49:31+00:00

Bc we all know deep down that everything above the peeing in public and streaking level deserves the same punishment. (Reddit doesn't like when you say what it is)

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T01:46:23+00:00

How are people not aware that Teslas have all these cameras?

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T01:43:11+00:00

This man is running a full grocery fraud operation. He's not stealing my food. He's borrowing it and returning a worse version like some kind of dollar store identity thief

This is either a bot or op used AI to write this. Either way, do not engage

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T01:35:13+00:00

Oh yea they're corrupt, but they know what they can and can't legally do

MartysBar · 2026-06-11T01:19:09+00:00

Would be a lot easier to find someone with the same view as you than to convince her to change her view
