I’m going to college soon, and have been considering getting a cheap motorcycle, maybe a Royal Enfield. I don’t have a driver’s license yet (not needed to get motorcycle license in my state), just a permit. Is it a good idea to learn to ride before you have much experience in a car? (I’d be getting professional riding courses through my state DOT). Can’t afford a car, and the campus is very scooter / motorcycle friendly.
I don’t see any advantage to driving first. Maybe to get some experience with traffic w/o worrying about handling your bike at the same time? I’d say for that, just avoid heavy/dangerous traffic at first. Heck, avoid it forever if you can!
True. Like 16 years of riding, and I find I do less and less riding anywhere busy. My perfect riding day is forest or backroads.
