My First Motorbike Ride

It was actually scary.

My clients had this saturday session thing and one of them was giving a "crash course" on motorbiking. I signed up & went with it. Upon reaching the venue, I wasn't surprise to find out that I was the only girl on board.

Hmm... I know I've always wanted to do this so I just watched the other guys roll it out as they tried their luck. Then it was my turn... suddenly my heart starting pounding & I was perspiring cold. I was so nervous my grip on the gas was tight and the bike jerked a bit. Thank God my left hand was still holding the clutch.

I tried a few times but I was a bit scattered brain figuring if I would use my right hand or my right foot for the breaks. And there I go.. still struggling to keep my balance.

Then I ended up piggy back riding with two of my clients. I was also at a back of a pick up while observing the others do their test rides.

Will I do it again? Yeah. But I'm contented now. Still shaken a bit. Tomorrow I plan to go biking somewhere. Maybe that's a start.

From where I'm standing, this is just a peaceful night.
