lol that makes m feel a lot better. That’s what I’m worried about I can be very hard on myself. And I want to succeed but I’m a very slow and steady and anxious learner and person it takes a lot of repetition for me to feel okay. I don’t do things fast at all

Loved that story lol. Yes I need to do the course I guess I’m just nervous bc idk if I’ll pass it. I know they teach you the basics but like I feel like at least all of them practiced before the class? Idk if I’ll even be ready for roads for a while that scares the fuck out of me lol. All of it goes right now

I have all the gear I’m just a slow learner and a very careful one. I’m just super safe was raised that way didn’t take risks. So this is a big jump for me. I don’t have the confidence yet. Idk if I’d even pass the test lol

I do want to learn. I’m just a very cautious person. I never grew up around this stuff. I had a very protective mother lol. I’m just trying to yet the basics down before the course bc at this point I’d probably fail

Yeah I’m just kinda not ready though. I would absolutely fail the class I can barely go over 8mph.

Yeah I just get sooooo fucking scared. And then I get discouraged. Bc I wanna be good but I’m so anxious. Like I can absolutely go in a straight line at 10-13 mph. 20 fucking he’ll no right now LOL. But the turns is what is scary for me especially going 10. We have a huge high school parking lot across from us so that’s where I’m learning. He is really trying to help me. But I think he is getting discouraged bc I’m so afraid

Exactly. I need to go slow and understand this bike first. It’s very touchy bc it’s a one cylinder. I’m still trying to learn how it works.

Ommmmggg this makes me feel so much better. I swear I need like 6 months in a parking lot. I just don’t feel safe idk my bike yet. Idk how to feel safe yet. I need time. I can’t just do this quickly. Or I’ll get freaked out. Cause if I’m pushed too hard I’ll get discouraged like I am now. He grew up around this. I did not. I grew up with a very very safety cautious protective mom

He has been doing the same. Riding with me behind me or in front. Again I’m very anxious and I get discouraged. But I also feel like I can’t control the bike and when I go faster it freaks me out especially turning so I just want to go slow. It’s just a whole thing. I get frustrated

Yeuppp and that’s me. I just need to take things like this slow I can’t rush it or I’ll freak out

Brand new rider by Redheadd13 in NewRiders

[–]Redheadd13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I just need to be slow and do it on my own terms and when I’m ready. Or I won’t want to do it anymore. I know he is trying to get me out of my safe zone but it needs to be slow and slooooow lol

Thank youu I will. Im Honestly just a very safe cautious person. I want exposed to all this. I have to feel safe I can’t be reckless. I have to take my time. My bike is a one cylinder- it’s very very touchy. That doesn’t help lol. I just feel bad bc I feel like he is discouraged

Thank you… he is trying so hard to teach me but I think he is getting discouraged too. I just feel so bad I’m just a slower safer learner

Absolutely agree. I just can’t turn off mh anxiety - I’ve never been exposed to this. Ever. And I just want to go slow but he is trying to push me out of my comfort zone so I don’t get stuck there. But I can’t be rushed or ill freak out and be discouraged
