I havent ridden a bike for 6 years, should I do a refresher course ?
Answers:
If you have previous experience of riding it will come back naturally to you, but if you have only ridden small bikes then the power difference will be quite noticable so an empty car park or area to practice on would be good, however the very fact that you are asking this question shows there is some doubt in your mind as to your confidence, a refresher course cannot hurt and will make you a better rider it may save your life or someone elses so go do it and enjoy your bike safely..good luck
id otn think you should because anyone can ride a bike no matter how long it is that you havent riden it !
You could it would not hurt - though I am the type that I just jump and do
is a refesher course worth your life or someone elses? i would do the course. it can only do good!
One never forgets how to ride a bike. Don't panic, just hop on it!
I would train rigorously!!
Just jump on the bike, but take it easy, until u get the hang of it.
no! just try the it out a few days before your even, with all of your skin covered, just to be on the safe side and with a helmet. once you know how to ride a bike, ou cannot ever forget, it's all muscle memory
you definitely do the course
If you can afford to, do it. It won't do you any harm will it?
Why? There's an old saying that goes "You never forget how to ride a bike", so supposedly it should come right back to you even if you're a little rusty.
yep do a quick refresher. bikes have moved on so much and it's better safe and in control. useful if you break down too
yes
Yes. You need to refresh your skills.
yes
it wont hurt. but i think the most you need to do is ask a friend or family member who rides a bike to help you out. nothing to fancy like paying for a class since you already rode a bike before
Never mind "jump on the bike until you get the hang of it". Rather "jump on the bike & hang on for dear life"!
riding a bike is like riding a bike, you never forget
I would, more so for the road saftey part than the actual riding of a bike. The roads have gotten bigger and nastier in the last six years and how and where you ride your bike has new laws attached to it.
This is a motorbike NOT a pedal bike so DEFINITELY have the lessons. It's worth it to be safe on the road.
Yes. It will make other travelers safer. lol
You never forget how to ride a bike,it's like walking.
yep,,take the class
You never forget how to ride a bike..just take it slow right out the gate
may be..
I went 12 years without riding, got a bike and just warmed up around the neighborhood, and slowly ventured further each day..it came back fairly quick.
I think for you own safety you should.. thou i think u will not forget how to ride for sure.. but you might need to get used to the posture. unless u have experience with the same type of bike.. nevertheless please do go. and happy riding!!!
Take the motorcycle safety class. The roads can change quite a bit in just a few years. The lesson's not on how to ride but on how to be safe in traffic.
It doesn't mean you have to do it before you can get on the bike, but you should do it soon.
If you do not feel confident getting on the bike then take a refresher lesson it will ease your mind and give you the confidence needed for safe riding. Alternativley go out with some fellow bikers on a quiet sunday making sure you trust them. They will protect your position on the road as long as you need them to. Soon you'll be back to riding as though you have not had a 6 year gap.
I'd take the course. better safe than sorry.
you should be ok go out on her when traffics quite you'll soon get back into them old bad habits..enjoy
If some congressmen have their way, it'll be mandatory to take a motorcycle safety course everytime you get a new bike regardless of when it was the last time you rode or whether you have an endorsement on your drivers license. The basic course is just that, basic; but it may help give you the needed refresher. I know if I spent enough money on my bike as I would a car; I would rather dump their ratty *** bikes at the safety course, that are made and have been dumped than my brand new $15,000.00 machine.
