I'm judging from over here. My only riding is play time on my bicycles in the snow.

Loose is good, also remember to not put much weight on them. Keep at it for a few days, like you said, your wrists are likely sore from doing it wrong up until now. It's an important skill to have, so you might as well work on it now, before you get bad habits ingrained in you.

hahahah you're halarious man hahah

so loose on the handle bar and how do i deal with cross wind on the freeway? just lean down?

choneofakind · December 11th, 2013, 09:53 PM

You can do that lean a bit so you don't catch as much wind. Before you ride in the wind, do the chicken dance a few times and loosen those arms also. If you're tense, any input from wind buffeting you will go straight to the bars. Keep the arms loose and you'll stop the wind from affecting the handlebars. Remember from the MSF course; how do we steer a bike? With the handlebars.

I guess I should correct that by saying how does the bike steer? By leaning. How do we easily control the lean? With the handlebars.

csmith12 · December 31st, 2013, 12:50 PM

lol, I was just kidding around chone, you know me.

Ohhh, thought you got a new bike. :P

The best decision of 2013 was getting my class M1 license and the bike.

I have 2001 Pregen with a Seized motor.

Looking for a used motor for mine.

Yes! San Clemente has nice pier to fish off.

I paid $800.00

and like $280.00 DMV fees

It's hard to justify spending $500 on a used motor when i got the bike for so cheap.
