Hi Leigh.
I’m like you, so new to riding. I’m a female 5’5″ and lots older. I’m 55. I am nervous and excited, and yes a little scared about riding. I think I could use private coaching. I started the Motorcycle Rider’s course yesterday and they asked me to come back to redo, they said I’m no where near ready for their test. I will buy a motorcycle asap and take the written for my permit this week and then practice as much as I can. Can anyone tell me a good boot to buy so the sole of the shoe doesn’t hang up on the back brake or gear shift lever. I keep looking down at the shift lever to see where it is because I couldn’t feel it through the shoe when I shifted. Those right turns are maddening.
Thanks
Lia
