I would say a Basic Rider Course that's MSF certified would be a good idea, You'll have fun , build confidence and learn a lot of valuable street survival skills which will also get you your M endorsement on your licence.
That is definitely the plan! It will be great to learn all of those skills. I just need to wait until the baby is a little older first. Thanks for the support!!
@@JackiesMotoGarage Good move not going down the curb. Get used to it first. On bikes like that you will need to learn not to lean on your hands. It takes a while but your body core should keep the weight on your hands neutral. Time for that later, basics first!
Awesome job. Yeah, no need to be scared. I did the MSF course on a grom, passed, next week bought a 1200cc Triumph Speed Twin. Just get out of your head, and learn to enjoy it.
Beside of what everyone already comment I would say that your greatest riding skill is that you know your limitations👌 The most common newbie riders is the exact opposite... Awesome Jackie! 💪
Hey Jackie! New subscriber here AND still a new rider. I like how you're going at a pace that's comfortable for you. It's great that Jon doesn't push you or make you feel uncomfortable as well. Can't wait to see you rippin' around on one of the 2,874 bikes you guys have! Lol. Good luck and ride safe!
Hi Jackie! New sub and new rider here! Congrats on the new bike, it really is beautiful. I own a 2018 Vulcan S and i really love that bike but I was also checking out a Triumph Street Twin as a second bike. I have to get really comfortable on the Vulcan first, because with a 28 inch inseam I am not flat footed on the Triumph and having confidence makes all the difference. Looking forward to follow you on your journey. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
I have been riding a Vulcan S around and absolutely LOVE it. I think you made a great choice. Definitely a good idea to ride what you're comfortable on for now. That's why I'm still trying to work my way up to the Triumph. Ride safe! Glad you're here!!
Jackie remember to turn you head and look where you want to go your shoulders will turn and the bike will follow !! keep up the good work you got this !!!
Thank you for sharing and keep it up. You'll have it down packed in no time. When I first started riding, it was on a Honda moped then I moved up to a Honda Rebel 250 then the scariest bike at that point to me was the Gixxer 750. But boy did I have fun learning and riding. Of course now it's been about 16 years since I last got on a bike and I am ready to get back on the saddle again, as it were. The Triumph is a beautiful bike but for some it wouldn't be considered a good starter bike. But I've seen people start on a Hayabusa and depending on how you feel about it, you'll do great no matter what bike you start on. Thank you again for sharing and keep up the great work.
Thank you for your encouragement and kinds words! It's just going to take lots of practice on my part!! I need to definitely find what I'm most comfortable on right now. Thanks for checking out my video!
Great job! You are pushing yourself and progressing quickly.... the fear and limitations are from it being "your bike" naturally you dont want to lay her down or mess her up but you'll be fine once you start getting more little rides like that under your belt ... also that MSF course is a confidence booster that will go a long ways once you do it, keep it up!
After my first year of riding last year I started branching out and going to some demo days to ride different bikes. At first I was so nervous riding bikes with more power because I didn’t know what to expect from the throttle, down shifting, engine breaking etc. but then it clicked that I am in Control of the throttle and how fast I go. Once you take a breath and rely on technique it makes life easier!
This brought me back to when i first ride my bike. I was so nervous dropping it and would go slow lol. Keep up the practice on the the other bikes and you’ll be doing flips and wheelies like John in no time. 👍
It's been crazy having all of these bikes at my finger tips to try out! I totally understand that that usually isn't the case. Thank you for checking out my video!
@@grossi46 Sometimes I wish our weather was more like that! But I guess I wouldn't be able to practice as much 🤷🏼♀️. We had a Bonneville several years ago and I loved that thing!!
Keep up the good work! You'll get there soon enough. I've seen a few reviews that mentioned the kickstand to be a nuisance on the Thruxton. Have you experienced that? Scariest ride for me was a 3 wheeler ATV during my childhood. It caused multiple broken bones!
about this particular video and this particular bike. those wrists don´t hurt because you would be tense, in this riding position, when you lean on your hands the wrists simply hurt. this position counts on the speed + wind which should help reliev your wrists... it is very nice you not pushing anything, great attitude !
I used to have triumph bonnevile 34tkm, i modified it as a thruxton at one point and after short while i put the original bonneville bars back. the bike itself is absolutely gorgeus, the engine is gorgeus, but if i found out one thing about riding my bike, i do not like when it hurts ;-), and those bars hurt ;-(, but it was cool looking ;-D. i do not think it is beginer bike though. looking forward to another thurxton experience ;-). www.motorkari.cz/motorka/?mid=57339&act=denik-motorky&scr=306
You know what's weird? Here in FL, we have green grass for lawns. I've never seen gravel for front lawns. But then again, I've always lived on the east coast.
Thank you for that! Yes, I'm the only one that knows how I'm feeling on it. I dont have to prove anything to anyone! I'll try it again once I have some more practice. I appreciate the support!
I was determined not to drop my first bike. Once I finally dropped it everything changed. I suddenly wasn’t constantly worried about dropping it anymore.
You're smart not to leave you comfort zone unless you plan on racing (then if you don't, you'll never win the race). You keep deciding when and what you will do on the bike. Don't let anyone talk into doing something you don't want to.
Great job Jackie. Stick with it. You will get more comfortable and confident with practice. By this time next year you will be riding wheelies next to your hubby .. haha 😆
Great... now I want ANOTHER bike lol. But really tho I was glad to see that u fit this bike very well (doesn't look too big/small for u) and that's cool cause I'm about the same size as u. For a while I wasnt sure how I'd look on a cafe style bike, but u look great so why not I :)
I’ve always called it “swallowing fear”. You’re doing great 👍 steps forward Knowing your limitations, try to relax, take your time, at your pace. Anybody critical needs to jump off the mike. I didn’t go slow on my first bike and broke bones as I learned. The broken bones remind me now that I’m older to go easy at first in any new bike. Right now, I’m in between bikes, healing from serious injury (non-motorcycle related). The next bike will start the adventure all over again as I ride towards AARP ✌️
I hope you heal fast!! Sorry to hear that you were injured. Thank you for your encouragement! I appreciate your kind words. I will remember that I don't need to push myself.
Courage has nothing to do with not being afraid. Being courageous is about pushing the fear aside, knowing there’s better things than fear waiting for you
The problem with that Thruxton for u is the handle bars. Who ever had it before you has turned handlebars upside down make a bit like early ones with clipons. Up the correct way would make a huge difference to your reach and be much more upright riding position. That's why they stopped making them with clipons for a more comfortable ride for Joe Bloggs.
I think that this video is absolutely how almost every beginner rider feels 1. And 2 this was the first video that my wife sat down and watched with me. Hopefully the riding bug bites her thanks for sharing your journey with us all. And was that a switch foot John did on the low lol
Glad that I'm not alone in feeling like that as a beginner! I love hearing that your wife watched this!! That would be so fun for your two to ride together! Thanks for checking out the video!
The DRZ turns like a dream compared to that forward leaning bike. Believe it or not the scariest bike I’ve ever ridden was a Suzuki 1400 cavalcade. The thing was a whale! 🐳
Once you get going they are all about the same it’s just in your head I know easy for me to say but you will see also MSF course is awesome and will help you tons I take refreshers every 5 years or so just because they are that good P.S you did great every time you will get a little more confident
@@JackiesMotoGarage Yeah, you just need to find that space in your head where you can relax. Things will be done quicker and smoother if you can do that
You cannot use your feet as learner wheels. Its a two wheel vehicle that needs a certain velocity to keep it upright. Maybe you need a mid size cruiser, not a sports bike with clip on bars. My wife found it easier to ride a low seat Harley than our Triumph Sprint or Zx14R. Also going real slow is harder.
Scared people are dangerous people. When you are scared , it’s almost certain that you are gonna have an accident. I don’t mean be cocky either. Just go all out, nuts to the wall. If it gets scratches and dings so be it. They are battle scars you can be proud of.
@@JackiesMotoGarage Jackie, I really like what you're doing and I would love to support you and share your channel but I can't. Without proper gear, how can one set a good example for other riders, let alone mothers. Your channel started with a video dedicated to why mother riders shouldn't be shamed and why it's not just ok but good to ride and I love that message but how can one be an advocate and not do it right. I wish you luck. I genuinely hope you NEVER get hurt riding. Please be safe. I wish you well. I'll check in from time to time to see if things have changed but for now, I have to unsubscribe. 😥
Dan C how lame are you? Proper gear?? She’s wearing a full face helmet with gloves She’s riding at 10 miles an hour. Jesus. You unsubscribed because she’s not in full race gear? LOL. how douchy of you Dan C to try to shame someone like that!
Angel Dust: Lame? Ok, if a new rider and mother of what? 3... wants to be a positive role model for other riders, yes, I feel you should set a good example and stop with the BS about 10 miles an hour. She's never going to progress past the cul-de-sac? Finally, what the F do you care who I subscribe to or not. Lame? Look in the mirror!

Your doing it right! Take your time and practice! You will love it when you get confident 🤘🏻💪🏻
Thank you!! That will be my goal for now. Keep practicing until I'm more comfortable on the triumph! Thanks for the support!
Awesome surprise video didn't think we would be seeing you on the triumph so soon

Where did you guys get the 2 in 1 arrow exhaust from? I’ve searched all over the internet and I feel like I can’t find one anywhere!
How do u Americans ride 900 cc cafe racer as beginner bike? We Indians get nervous riding a 180cc as beginner.
