aren't motorcycles 16"?

Depends on the bike, regular motorcycles typically ran 18", my Triple has 19". Sometimes to get a wider tire they'd run 16" rear rims. I've seen dirt bikes with 20" front wheels, or larger.

They're 20" wheels, aren't motorcycles 16"?

The first ride I did it was really squirrelly. What I figured out is my partner put the handlebars too far forward so my elbows were locked out. I was also gripping too hard and not relaxed. After just over 80km on it I'm feeling more comfortable.

I am thinking back to youthful experiences on minibikes versus motorcycles. It was practically mandatory to wipe out on minis. The short wheelbase probably also contributes to instability. I am just extrapolating from those experiences.

Glad you figured your machine out. Your description of your first ride had me going nonononono. I lost a fair amount of skin growing up.

Add the tire to the wheel diameter though more like 24 or 25 inches. Approaching the diameter.of a bicycle tire.

One of us took a spill on Monday on the streetcar tracks and lost a bit of skin on her elbow.

Chico had railroad tracks running down the middle of the road. I hit them when it was drizzling rain and my front tire slipped but caught again after I went over them. Took awhile to get the seat out of my ass.

Train tracks? Lol that's crazy... the streetcar tracks are level with the road surface at least. I've had a few run ins with them over the years.

That looks treacherous!! Be careful!!! We might have to get you some knee and elbow pads, and a full leather suit.



Those old steel deck bridges are scary on 2 wheels also.

I'll stick to my back roads, thank you!! Bears and German Shepherds are bad enough to deal with!
