Went right to a street bike, took my time, used maturity, common sense, self control and brains. I managed just fine. Wore my gear, rode smart and didn’t push the limits of the road/bike/my skills.

It’s crazy how in the other post there was people thinking I was retarded for telling Ilya to learn how to clutch, shift, and some control on a dirtbike. Especially because he’s never been on 2 wheels.
