Today, I wanted to try out something I saw in a video – motorcycle swerving. It looked pretty cool and not too hard, so I figured, why not give it a shot?
First, I geared up. Helmet, gloves, the whole nine yards. Safety first, you know? Then, I picked a big, empty parking lot near my place. It was a weekday morning, so it was pretty much deserted. Perfect for practicing without worrying about hitting anyone or anything.
Find a good spot
- Big and empty is key.
- No people, no cars, no problems.
I started by just riding around slowly, getting a feel for the bike’s balance. I mean that I rode around in circles, figure eights, that sort of thing. Once I felt comfortable, I started to pick up the speed a little.
Now, the swerving part. The video I saw made it look so easy. They just leaned left and right, and the bike followed. So, I tried that. I leaned to the left, and guess what? The bike went left. Huh, maybe it was easy. I leaned to the right, and sure enough, the bike went right. I was swerving! Sort of.
Practice makes perfect
- Start slow, get the feel.
- Lean left, go left. Lean right, go right.
- It’s not as easy as it looks in videos.
It wasn’t exactly smooth at first. I was a bit jerky, a bit wobbly. But I kept at it. I practiced leaning more, leaning less, going faster, going slower. After a while, I started to get the hang of it. I could swerve around imaginary obstacles, make quick turns, and all that jazz. It actually felt pretty awesome!
I spent a good couple of hours just riding around, swerving like a madman. By the end of it, I was pretty tired, but also really stoked. I actually did it. I learned how to swerve on a motorcycle.
It’s not like I’m a pro now or anything, but I definitely feel more confident on the bike. And it’s just a fun thing to do, you know? So yeah, that was my day. I learned a new skill, had a blast, and didn’t crash. I’d call that a win.
