It’s the clutch control, throttle control and proper use of the rear break that will get you where you want to be. Keep at it. Once that becomes second nature riding becomes something special.
Will note that! Hopefully I get that part too, nowhere close to being to able to do that at the moment and I'm so novice on two wheels I got to aim smaller for sure

I would highly recommend a Dainese used jacket. Italian made ones are excellent. You can get them at a bargain from Ebay. They run a little small. My golden rule in motorcycle protection is expending as much as you can in protective gear. You will never regret it.
thank you! I'll most likely settle for a bike or ebike for now just to get the balance part down first but when I get to the motorized part I'll make sure to look into it in detail.

I love that one, which size is yours? I've looking for a size M for a wile now.
it's a small, it fits well in the body but the 29" back is crazy long for my short self lol I'll have it hemmed to 27" back length when I find a good tailor

happy to see this again haha all well that ends well

I am becoming a huge fan of IH. I think their denim and construction is on another level. I am a noob in the denim dept. and only have experience with BS and IH. I thought Brave Star was awesome, and they are, but damn, IH takes it a couple levels higher (along with the price, lol).

I tried a few Brave Star too and found the heavier Japanese denim 17oz or more is nicer than the midweight counterpart. I find the slim taper and true straight as solid patterns. I recently bought preowned IH heavy canvass double knee and cargo pants and the triple seam stitches are insane lol

I’ve got two IH denim vests. Perfect for summer riding. Thick, heavy, awesome. Definitely provide ample protection too.

If you like Iron Heart, wait until you try makers like Ooe Yofukuten who have even better construction.

I forgot to share these from Halloween. This was my take on a character from one of my favorite movies. My version isn't perfect especially regarding colors and the boots, but I think I did alright given what I had. I love this Rainbow Country A2 even if it's not exactly an accurate repro ;)
