I was stopped at a intersection, I was ready to go when I stalled the bike. Since I never really rode a bike or drove a manual car, I never really understood how to properly start up a bike from a stop and so I kept stalling the bike. A bunch of cars piled up behind me so I started to panic, I wanted to get out of there fast because people were honking. So I rev'ed it up and then dump the clutch, it jolted like it was gonna stall again but instead of letting go the throttle I revv'ed it even harder, the bike shot out from under while my feet were down anticipating it to stall. So my foot dragged, pulling me off the bike as it shot out from under me. I was so pissed at myself because I panicked and also because I knew I should have taken the course instead of going out.
boys and girls, this is the exact reason why you don't go into traffic on a motorcycle on your first day of riding. Your friend wasn't thinking to hard when he dragged you into traffic on your first day of riding. I personally did not go into light traffic for at least two weeks and heavy traffic at least 7 weeks.
