I’m 19 and I’ve been driving since forever and I own a Subaru Impreza
WRX and I’ve taken Silver on Junior Rally Test Try outs but right now I wanna save fuel and avoid alot of clutching in hard traffic so I decided to learn driving 2 Wheelers and I know it’s not like driving a Car but I just want to know where to start I dont have any eXperience with them Bikes so I was thinking to start from scratch Aprilia RS250 and Honda CBR125R maybe? After I get the Bike I’ll hit the Lessons. You guys could really help telling me what to get and how long will it take approX to learn before moving into the 600cc middle class.

This is cycling as in “bicycle”. The pedal kind of bike.

You need to go to “Cars and Transportation” and repost this under “motorcycles”.

Question by malcolm c: Is going to truck driving school (CDL) an extreme to learning to drive stick shift?
In two days I will be closing on my first car purchase, which will be a manual. I don’t have my license and in MD we have to take a 30 hour in class driving course{which I don’t mind}, but then we also have to have an additional 60 hours behind the wheel with a parent or mentor. I am an adult and new to MD, originally from NY where I really didn’t need a license or a car to get around.

I am comfortable with auto, but I’m getting a good deal on the manual, and I’ve always wanted to learn. Anyway I don’t have any friends or family that can teach me, and the driving schools only teach automatic. Not alot of people interested in learning manual out here.

I really would like to learn, so my plan to bypass all the MD regulations is to enroll in truck driving school where I can learn manual, and get a Class A CDL license. I’m not sure what the price is yet (if anyone has any experience with these schools how much am I looking at?). My question for you guys is, am going to an extreme by doing this? I don’t really plan on becoming a truck driver, but I would like to learn to drive manual effectively, and I figured this is the way to go, b/c their training I’m sure is more indepth than anything I could learn from a friend right?

Please offer any suggestions. Thanks

I’d think so, commercial truck transmissions are for the most part more difficult and I’d think you’d be behind the rest of the class.

Watch all of the rounds (except the ones that were not included in this season review), link to the playlist: www.youtube.com The Safari Rally was unbelievable 5167 km long in 1985 (record being in 1975 – 5927 km!). Though the statistics does not tell what was the actual “competitive distance” but about 40-50 % would be good guess. Last time Safari was run with WRC status was in 2002, total distance being 2432 km and “competitive sections” 1011 km. Results: juwra.com en.wikipedia.org .

Question by Demarco: What happens when you get a sponsorship on your car???
-Do you get stuff or just discounts?
-How do you get one and do they give them to just anybody who wants to promote them?

Best answer:

Answer by dirtytricksracing@sbcglobal.net
There has to be a reason for them to sponsor you. What ever it is you have to win a lot.So they get a return on what ever it is they give you. Sometimes it discounts and other times it is
say parts or equipment
