Well I dont drive cars so I havent developed any habits from that. Before even considering getting a motorized bike it is only common sense to be able to operate a bicycle without any trouble. I always rode my bicycle everywhere. My very first time on my scooter I quickly shifted over to bicycle mod...

Here is my theory: The brain is the most powerful supercomputer in the known universe. It is so advanced that it can even "reprogram" itself, so to speak. Therefore, if a person rides a bike a lot, their brain will develop programming to handle the basic operation and balance required with...

This is all pretty intersting. I'm just glad I can do it without thinking about it. I would hate to have to learn it. Gotta love the human brain. 8)

It starts. . . .

Hi. I am a 100% newbie when it comes to motorcycles. I'm 21 and have never even sat on a motorcycle until I started a few days ago when I got my first bike. It's a TGB 303R Laser 150cc Scooter. I know 150cc is kinda weak but it seems like a good bike to learn on. Thankfully the highway near my house...
