Highchair help

when i tried my first highchair i had my left leg over but when i went with my right i hit the kill switch and my bars started slapping my tank. it was almost a nasty wreck. what is the easy way to get both legs over i would let go with my left hand then put my leg up then the other side

At first, I would suggest sitting on the tank, take your throttle hand off, swing your right leg up, and then do the same with your left leg. Just keep the throttle closed to the bike don't jump into power landing you on the pavement (I had a couple of close calls myself when I first started). When you get the hang of that just take both your hands off and jump into position, although I wouldn't recommend that right now, lol.

Yes they can pull you over, if they won't too. However, if they do, they usually won't write you a ticket although they can if you run into the wrong

yes it's illegal because if you don't have both hands on both bars and feet on the pegs it's shown not to be in total control of your vehicle.

i'll have to actually get out the book and see what the definition is. They could probably find about 5 different laws it violates in any given way.
