wilson's first ride
i tried to ride my 2003 ZX12R today was not as easy as i thought it would be, first i hit the button the wrong way on the automatic kick stand the bike turned left and i hit the curb not hard but it shook me up a little, then i did put it up but it is not as quick as i thought i shifted my weight little to the right and because the stand was still touching the ground it unloades the left side wheel and because the wheeles are ahead of the regular wheel it turned left again i thought i was going down but i didnt iam going to take it to a large parcking lot tomorrow and practice putting it up and down so i can get used to how it feels i need to get it in my mind just how far to go before i put it up and when to put it down when iam stopping i will keep you all informed as to my progress

WOW, that is complicated! I never used training wheels when I learned to rid a Bike and when i tried to ride a bike with them, it was not easy. I found that the higher I raised the training wheels the easier I could ride it. You may want to talk to him about making one wheel higher than the other or just how high they need to be?
