I rode my motorcycle for about 30 minutes today. I type "rode" what I really mean is that I went about 2 mph with my feet down pretty much the whole time trying to get a feel for the clutch. I had ridden it previously for about 15 minutes or so, but didn't take into account everything I had learned in class. I had forgotten about the friction zone and getting the feel for the bike, clutch, throttle, etc. and was therefore very shaky and scared.

Today, I took all those things into consideration and started off slowly. Sitting on the bike, walking the bike while in neutral and walking the bike while holding the clutch, getting a feel for it. This went better. I still feel a little shaky at times, as I don't feel like I have good control over the bike simply because I am so small. Hopefully this will pass, as I can't grow any taller and don't plan on gaining any weight.

I feel more comofortable today than I did before and hopefully I will progress quickly. Next time I ride, I hope to get shifting down and get into second gear AT LEAST.
