Alright NT i have an absolute noob question so forgive my pure ignorance. I have my motorcycle skills test this Friday to get my license. The bikes we used for the training were Buell Blasts. Now the "friction zone" on the clutch of these things is incredibly small so since i have never ridden before i was stalling out when we had to start and stop on a hill. So my question is if i start to let the clutch out can i roll the throttle before the clutch actually gets into the friction zone so that there is power there when it hits the friction area, or will like that cause me to buck off the line, or is it all dependent on how slow you let the clutch out and i can give it gas the whole time im letting the clutch out?
What i was doing is as soon as i hit the friction zone and hear the bike putter i would then roll the throttle. Some times id buck it a bit but i was ok. But on a hill i can't feel the bike start to move a bit when i hit the friction zone so i was stalling more. I know it sounds stupid but on my bike (that i rode once in a parking lot) I can damn near let the clutch all the way out and the thing won't chug until the very end. Its like my friction zone is huge and its way easier to operate.
Also...ive always wanted a pair of Nike Field Boots ever since i heard they were Tinker's fav shoe nike makes. Anyone think they would be good riding boots?
