actually to my surprise I did not fall once (knock on wood)...and besides myself and another dude. We were the youngest in there. Most of the other people were females in their 30s early 40s and a couple older dudes.
The class started off simple. First everything in the book. "To turn do not push on the handle bars press down on the side you want to go. Look right, Press Right, Lean Right" and until I got the hang of it Looking in the direction you want to go is actually the key in turning sharp without falling because, as the instructor stated, the nose acts as a pointer and the bike will go where ever your nose is pointed.
PLus they made it a point not to look down. They say if you look down while you are riding than eventually you will fall.
We'll see how I do today. Its my final day, and today is the day we take the state riding test/evaluation and a written.
They also tell me to start riding as soon as possible while all of this is fresh in my mind.
