Hello to all,
I left Vietnam at a relatively young age so I did not have the opportunity to ride a motorcycle. This is my second visit to HMC in less than one year so I figure I should give this motorcycle business a kick. I drove extensively back in Canada for work and for personal recreation. Then again, the traffic jam on Toronto's 401 or 400 Hwy is nothing in comparison with what I see here. Several nights ago, my cousin picks a quiet spot around our neighbourhood so I can begin my motorcycle lesson. I found the vehicle a bit clumsy to manage when I was making my turns. Also, it is relatively heavy to push around. At one point, I squeezed the gas handle in the wrong direction and I found myself only meter away from the street vendor. This exercise of attempting to ride the motorcycle starts with my aim for transportation autonomy. Surprisingly, this experience breathes life into a long forgotten childhood memory of learning how to ride a bike from my parents and my older brothers. This experience of nerve couples with the joy of learning new things generates endless rounds of laughter so it is not a matter of if but when. I plan to have another round of training tonight. I would like to hear from you if you have any motorcycle stories or techniques to share. Thank you for your participation.
