This time, it's finally time for the first practical lesson!! (They both took selfies showing how fired up they were!)
The instructor told me to put on my protectors, so I put on my vest and knee and arm protectors. Here's a tip: it's a good idea to buy your own helmet beforehand. Having your own helmet is sure to motivate you more than a rental one. It's an item you'll need even after you get your license, so it's a good idea to get ready early.
First, we were given an explanation of the basic operation of the bike itself. When practicing how to lift the bike without using force, I was impressed to see that even girls can do it once they get the hang of it.
Next, let's talk about the engine. It probably takes some time to get used to revving the engine at a constant speed, but gradually I got the hang of it and was able to drive smoothly.
Ayasuke, you're short, but what was it like riding a bike?
Ayasuke: I thought it was surprisingly heavy. I learned for the first time that few women get a large motorcycle license right away, and that many get used to riding a regular motorcycle license before riding a large one.
I see! So choosing the right bike for your body type is important.
Li: During practical training, many of the girls were wearing jeans. It seems that a denim jacket is fine for the jacket you wear during training, so a denim-on-denim combination with boots and red lipstick would also look good. It's fun to get used to operating a motorcycle, and it's also fun to think up an outfit that goes well with it!
Girls who ride motorcycles need to focus on both improving their skills and looking stylish. Next time, we'll report on how these two girls chose their bikes.
This time we'll be talking about the cost of maintaining a motorcycle. Biker girl Aoi seems worried about how much it will cost.
As GooBike says, just like cars, motorcycles also have a vehicle tax set according to engine displacement. For more details, click <a href="http://www.goobike.com/basic/s_02.html#Money" target="_blank">here!
In addition, motorcycles over 400cc are required by law to undergo vehicle inspections. If you would like to know more, the dealer will be happy to explain.
