My plan is to not drop her ... again :D (touch wood) I've been there with the guys coming to help, I did it in a service station and a 90yo man and two strapping young blokes came and helped before Terry could even turn back to me. People are nice arent they :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395364582355269753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078765543853720407.post-26218120404877908012012-09-25T11:49:00.594+10:002012-09-25T11:49:00.594+10:00Great job on quitting smoking and the ride!!

I did drop my motorcycle in the middle of nowhere except I never thought about ever having to pick it up! I pulled myself out from under the cycle. Just grabbed it and it didn't move. I laughed cause I had no idea how I was going to pick it up. Thankfully a guy stopped and helped. Since then I Googled and found a video on how to do it. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078765543853720407.post-25917806740731116812012-09-25T09:55:32.266+10:002012-09-25T09:55:32.266+10:00Thanks Roger :)

The only time I wasnt thinking about it was while we were riding.

You'll Live To Ride Longer!!"<br /><br /> The feet down thing I'm kinda working on, like you it's an old habit so hard to break, and I thought I'd broken it too .. I dont think it's really a biggy it's just the hardest. I have watched a lot of big blokes on big cruisers lately and noticed they nearly all stop with both feet down. So I dont feel so bad.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395364582355269753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078765543853720407.post-33706069568258901732012-09-24T10:16:38.234+10:002012-09-24T10:16:38.234+10:00Ally that's absolutely the way I feel about it...Ally that's absolutely the way I feel about it now, it's rewarding but I just needed to know that I was doing these things. I guess I was just riding recently and not thinking about my riding the way I used to when it was all new and scary. I just want to always remember to anylise my riding so that I will pick up those bad habits before they cement. It did feel rewarding when I realised that there are things that I've gotten better at. <br /><br />And I'm ready to learn more, I keep telling Terry I'm going to go motocross soon :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395364582355269753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078765543853720407.post-55300954280516694502012-09-24T04:32:41.016+10:002012-09-24T04:32:41.016+10:00Great job getting out for a solo ride....and for q...Great job getting out for a solo ride....and for quitting smoking. You'll live to ride longer.<br /><br />Funny how we pick up habits while riding or revert to old ones. I still don't stop with one foot down, it is always both feet as that is the way I was taught 10 years ago. Of course now they encourage you to only put the left down. I stop with both down then put the right on the back brake if I am on a hill. Maybe it is a balance thing, but I feel odd stopping with only one down.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078765543853720407.post-39710567237816880912012-09-24T00:29:11.884+10:002012-09-24T00:29:11.884+10:00U-turns scare all of us and having an audience hei...U-turns scare all of us and having an audience heightens the anxiety.<br /><br />Riding is a never-ending skill journey. Early on, this frustrated me but now it excites me. We can always get better, always feel more confident. I find increasing my mastery, by facing greater challenges, is rewarding. I hope you'll discover the same.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078765543853720407.post-61394808084538408162012-09-23T21:16:21.429+10:002012-09-23T21:16:21.429+10:00Thanks Steve :)

Thanks :)<br /><br />I actually dont think it's a bad thing that I do this sort of thing every now and then, I imagine that if I became blasé about my riding that's when it's all going to become dangerous. As it is now, it's just fun with the promise to become more fun in the future :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395364582355269753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078765543853720407.post-71296764114450717772012-09-23T15:14:56.233+10:002012-09-23T15:14:56.233+10:00Thoughtful post Brenda!

It's going to be with you for your whole riding career as you clearly care about your standards. Rogey and I were talking about the very same thing recently and it's something that everyone gets from time to time. You go girl!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.com
