Thank you Issanman.
As mentioned in my posts I am new in riding. I do admit and agree with all who said riding a small scooter and riding a big bike is different which was why I had an interim bike the ADV150 to gain more experience however, riding the Gold Wing is an entirely different story. Anyway there is always a first for everything.
Coming back to the Gold Wing, so far I rode only on Sunday within my village, to the gas station and nearby places like the market and to some friend's home. When on the move, surprisingly I found it easy to ride, very easy indeed and cornering while turning is so easy and feel more confident that it will not fall over compare to small scooter and small bikes.
But I have a few problems I faced that I need lots of practice (all related to the weight of the vehicle)
1. Stopping the vehicle, the bike suddenly feel so heavy to balance so got to fight with it
2. Moving off from standstill like at traffic light, once again due to the weight I feel a bit unbalance and fighting with the weight
Both the above are actually very dangerous if I don’t get it right and get it right quick if not I will have problem
3. Trying to move the bike from standstill for example adjusting to park nicely, once again its a struggle due to the weight
4. Backing up the bike is a problem and need lots of practice, again is due to the weight
5. You may say to me “but you have reverse gear” yes I have reverse gear it helps but not as easy as you might think reversing a 4 wheel ????????????
6. Making u-turn on a narrow street is s struggle, real struggle
So it seems I require lots of practice. I have engaged a trainer for big bike but due to Covid lessons had been suspended.
Anyway I had lots of fun on Sunday. I will not give up and will persevere to master it ????.
