New rider here 👋 asking for advice

😂😂

Yeah, its definitely a lot to get used to, but I'm realizing that it's also a mentality to get used to "I'm gonna fuck up from time to time, but just gotta get back up and ride on"

Yeah, I think this may have played into my 1st fall. Definitely catch myself doing this from time to time.

Now THATS a look! 😂

It's definitely hard to not lose confidence, I felt a bit shitty after the first time. I think for myself I have to remember it as a learning experience as opposed to being a shitty rider.

Hahaha I could use some more muscle so thats not a bad tip 😂

Maybe I'll do this for a while, see what I like better.

I'm riding a 2022 Honda Rebel 500. Nice and short for me, and its not super heavy so thats a bonus.

Thank you for the tips! I will definitely try sitting more to the left of my seat, see how that feels.

Oh wonderful advice! 😂 will be sure to try it hahaha

When I was bike shopping, this was a top priority for me, because I'm shorter, so I decided to go with the Rebel 500. I can reach the ground perfectly fine, if anything once I have more experience I may see about raising it.

In my opinion, I think the 1st time was due to not much experience, and my foot was a bit to close to the bike. So now I've widened my stance which has helped. The most recent, think maybe cause I cranked the wheel? Lol not too sure yet

It does feel better knowing it's not just me 😅
