从买来到现在也才两周。在YouTube 看了看，没有人详细解释过如何慢放离合，驾校教练也没有仔细示范。最近自己才琢磨出如何在上坡stop sign如何起步不死火也不突然冲出去。确实就是你说的，离合要在friction zone hold一小会直到完全挂上档位，油门控制要精确平稳。和骑自行车的放刹车完全不同。
An old motorcycle keeps its value, not the new one drops its value quickly.
I once had 3 motorcycles at the same time: Yamaha 50 cc (bought a new, 1983, my first, one cylinder, 2 strokes (so I had to pour two stroke oil in a small tank, because it was burning the oil with gas), $700, about 90 mpg, maximum speed was 55 mph when the enginge reached at 7000-8000 rpm, sold for around $300 (around 2000 miles and after 5 years), if I remember correctly, the insurance was around $20 a year); Honda 360 cc (bought an old, 1976 model, two cylinders, 4 strokes, my second. I felt 50 cc was too small, so I bought this my second, soon I sold it, bought it for around $300 and sold for another $300); and Yamaha 750 cc (used, 1975 model, 3 cylinders, shaft drive, had very nice driving sound when you heard its silence when you drove, only 26 mpg, bought for $450, 3 yeas later sold for another $450, I hated this sale, like I sold my best lover, but my future home was 1000 miles away. Insurance was around $80 a year).
I even drove 50 cc from NY to NJ in winter with my winter coat wrapped as pants) to visit one of my relatives from China on his business trip. I also drove my 750 cc with my sister's father-inlaw as a passenger around in the New York City. The problem of 50 cc was too small and two light: once I stopped in front of a red trafic light, then I started too fast, the front wheel was in the air, not on the road, as high as my eye level, I was so scared, I did not mean to. Honda was the worst: I did not even drive much and quickly the cylinder heads were bent, I had to take the engine block apart in a graduate student dorm in summer, brought the engine head for a shop to install the valves. Soon I sold the bike and not long after I sold it, the buyer complained the clutch was broken. But I was really sorry for him and apologized to him but I indeed did not know, I was new for knowing the bike as well as Honda, the greatest brand in the world but I hate it the most (do you guys remember I wrote several entries (after some one talked about Honda these past two years?). I like 750 cc Yamaha best. Very fast, I stopped in front of a red light and then then started, I beat a BMW, until I reached the speed limit so he caught me from a measuable distance, by next red light, he stopped at my right side, turned his window down, looked at me, stared at me with an eye sight I never never understood, I really felt I was falling in world's greatest trouble, realy scared, I wondered if he had a gun, with a gun-carrying-permit to shot me, an inocent winner. (Lu Xun said a true winner hopes that he wins if his opponent is the stronger, not the weaker. I beat BMW, if you are a motorcyle driver do you vote me as the stronger winner? ) The greatest feeling for driving a motocycle was at the moment when you met a another bike driver from the opposite road waved his hand for your waving hand, though we never met. It seems all motorcycle drivers are in one family. You only live in that family you know the family.
Motorcyle driving also has a chance to make a friend and know people (American people), how nice they are. My way to the driving test was helped by a lab technician, with his pickup. He was almost my best friend, like my elder brother, though I don't have one. But he passed away too early. Many helpers from unknown Americans. Once my 750 had a flat tire, a passing-by American took me to a shop, I bought a inner tube and I installed with his help (750 had inner tube, not tubeless tires, but for a shaft drive, it was very easy for tire changing). He later invited me to his home, I remember clearly, just before he entered his house, he asked "Honey, are your clothed?" We became good friends, exchanging visit several times for 4 people (Sino-American friends). But unfortunately he divorced. Good people for me either short lived (including my best) or have not so good life. Another time my 750 cc fell on the road, I was trying to lift it up, a 550 lb. giant for a 110 lb. to do so, a passing driver stopped his car to try to help me as quickly as he could, but miracle happened, by the time he reached me, the 550 lb was standing! I also had once in winter, my 50 cc fell, I felt pain on my hand, leather grove (I still have this piece, a sole witness) was broken, a pretty girl asked me if I needed help and said her home was neraby. I just felt I did not need it so I honest said "Thank you, any way, I don't need help". Later I regreted very much (in my whole life). I felt I might have had a greated romatic novel (again, Sino-American story) in the world to write If I had been saying yes.
By the way, I still have a motorcycle license right now. It is a M on my license, with a nice Memory for Motorcyles. It is biggr M than BmW's m.
I also remember that one day, my 50 cc 's tire was punctured on the road, again, it was tube tire. I had to push the bike home for around more than 5 miles. I do not remember the weight of the bike but it was handleable. Alone, this time, no one helped me.
I drove the 50 cc for around 2000 miles in 5 years.
I drove the 750 cc for around 10000 miles in around 3-4 years, when I bought her, she had 18000 miles .
It took me about two hours writing this story. If I wrote in Chinese, it might take as long as a day. So sorry for writing it in English.
Maybe I also write my car repairing story/history (in French these two words are the same) in English, but may not be.
home from 50 miles away (just bought it, no driving experience at all). Also I did not go to driving school. I learnt by self-taught. Because I did not have a license before the driving test, it was not allowed to be on the road, my friend took the bike on his pickup to the driving test location.
I was strong, when I was young. In the coutryside (5 years during the cultural revolution), I could do everything a peasant did, some works I did even better, including carrying two large buckets of liquid manure (pretty heavy) on a shoulder with a 扁担 to a field several miles away without stop. Only two trips for half a day. So you could imagine how far I had to travel with a heavy load.
村长trusted, I happened to be one of the two. Other people either thought the load was too heavy or the smell of manure was too stinky and the work was too dirty.
认真听取大佬们的意见，最终买了个Honda Rebel 300, 286cc. 刚回家就好奇发动坐在上面溜达了一下，结果启动时离合掌握不好冲出去小摔了一把，幸无大碍。把clutch level 摔弯成了牛角状，马上在dealer 那里订货，周末自己换好了. Parts还不算贵，$23，安装非常简单如自行车，自己手工免费。看了下dealer标价人工费$145/hr，比一般的汽车铺还贵。
紧接着周末见缝插针越上了驾校，两天培训拿了临时驾照可以合法练车，然后一周后又直接去DMV加上了M2驾照，搞定后每天人少时在小区慢慢溜达，现在逐渐找到点换挡的感觉了。不过感觉确实马力太小，一档加速到12mph时发动机就吵得很，不知是否正常，还是平时开车习惯了车厢里的安静。打算用这车半年内把技术练好，local低速当个大scooter兜兜风，不打算将来上赛道和上高速溜达。以后看情况，至少满足了一个好奇心。如果还喜欢就换大点的，否则就卖了拉倒，每年只能暖和的时候开。闪奔个背影，DC附近有想玩的大叔级朋友欢迎有空一起交流。
从买来到现在也才两周。在YouTube 看了看，没有人详细解释过如何慢放离合，驾校教练也没有仔细示范。最近自己才琢磨出如何在上坡stop sign如何起步不死火也不突然冲出去。确实就是你说的，离合要在friction zone hold一小会直到完全挂上档位，油门控制要精确平稳。和骑自行车的放刹车完全不同。
早早摔了一跤也有好处，学车中更加处处小心，随时穿着所有防护用具，感觉不对立刻捏离合保持平衡并减速。
我小时候偷舅舅的摩托车开时也不知道要慢慢放离合同时加油。
摩托车发动机太抖了，远不如汽车发动机平顺。
玩车没骑过哈雷也不好意思吹牛不是？
坡上起步因为有脚支撑，不难，不像汽车，纯粹是油离配合，有些人开了几十年手排了，坡上起步还得靠手刹。
比较难的是绕8字，不知道美国考不考。我的邮编20121， 如果不远的话，你练车的时候，我可以去观摩一下。

我在22101，495里面，还是有点距离的。如果你还在玩，等我开熟练了可以溜达一次，也许那时我已经换哈雷了……

最好白花钱，希望不要用上

There are three kinds of drive:
chain drive,
belt drive,
shaft drive.
Buy used one, retain its value.
home from 50 miles away (just bought it, no driving experience at all). Also I did not go to driving school. I learnt by self-taught. Because I did not have a license before the driving test, it was not allowed to be on the road, my friend took the bike on his pickup to the driving test location.
但具体用不用手刹我也记不清了，如果应付考试，坡上停车时不必摘挡（需要事先留在一档），右脚踩刹车，左手捏离合，左脚撑地起到平衡作用，再起步没啥特殊的。
就是坡上突然停车，这时候换挡需要手刹配合一下，靠右脚撑地防止下滑好像费点劲哈。但是一旦挂上挡，不需要换成脚踩刹车吗？
松手刹同时加油门，有点儿不好操作吧？也没必要搞得这么fancy 吧？
毕竟我这是遥远的回忆了，也许记的不准了。
买不起汽车。哈哈

My 750 cc had 6.
doesn't use chain or belt drive if shaft drive传动损失最大?
if you decide to keep her.

你没有驾照就买车，摩托车怎么开回家的？难道摩托店送货上门？
我在国内骑了4年摩托车。当时私家车还很少，我的同辈基本都是骑摩托，上下班高峰那是一个机械化洪流，如水银泄地。
我以为国内出来的都会骑摩托单车呢，没想到居然我遇到的国人大部分都视摩托车为危险之物。说实话，我的国内的同学朋友，一50%都日常使用摩托车，没听说哪个出事了。
一档就是为了起步用的，速度一起来马上升档二档三档。一档怎么能开12麦呢？噪音大是自然的。
我一般都是二档起步，加速快。
