i learned to ride a bike(street) before i really learned to drive a car. i took my MSF class with very limited car exp. and i had driven a stick once in a parking lot. its not that hard of a concept to figure out. just go slow. i kept stalling my bike at the MSF trying to take off, it was really getting to me. i wasnt giving it enough gas and letting the clutch out to far. i ended up planting both feet ont he ground, give it gas let the clutch out and feeling the bike start to pull forward, id keep my feet still on the ground holding the bike back(was easy on a 250). when it got hard to hold back id pick my feet up and be on my way. for whatever reason doing that helped me learn not to stall very quick. just learning about the clutch and how much power to send to the bike and stuff.
