Have never drove any car nor bike before. Working with a clutch was hell. Been able to start only after 5th try, and stalled a lot. But overall was fun, eager to get license.

    A motorcycle friend of mine put it to me this way:

    Dress for the slide, not for the ride.

    Made perfect sense. I had a bicycle accident when I was a kid (14 I think) that I slid about 10 feet on sandy pavement. I still have the scar on my forearm over 40 years later.

      Grown men will still say “jeans are fine” as if they didn’t shred them in 10mph bicycle accidents
