Yikes!

I learned to drive stick in the largest uhaul truck available at the time. We were moving half way across the country and had two trucks. Father was driving the other.

He takes me out to the truck, tells me how to operate it, and ten minutes later we're on the road. Was shitty starts but I feared we would stop on a incline. Got there okay.

California has two classes of motorcycle license: M1 and M2. M2 is only for mopeds/scooters, and M1 is for motorcycles. You can still "trick" the system and get an M1 by taking your test on a scooter with a 250cc motor.

all they need in some states is a car permit if even that. consistently see them doing the dumbest shit until they end up dead either on the scooter or when they finally upgrade to that 1000cc ninja theyve been lusting for

My dad taught me a lot , starting on riding lawn mowers and we built a two motor go kart . When i was 17 we built a 1950 pan shovel harley kit bike ; it leaked oil as if it was original .

pulling and pressing real hard. I've had this problem, too.

I fucking hate electronic parking brakes btw. In my current vehicle, it doesn't always engage for some reason, so if you're not super careful to feel for the engagement and make sure the light comes on, you get out and it starts to roll. I've entered a moving vehicle for that reason. Oh and the reason this happens is as long as you're sitting in it it apparently engages a hill holder. When it detects you've gotten out it lets off. Or something like that. I dunno it doesn't roll until you get out.
