Motorcycles at the arcade?

Question

I've never been on a motorcycle before but I really want to!

If I go to an arcade and try one of those motorcycle games, how similar is that to the real thing?

I guess it's a pretty lousy way of riding on one but I actually don't know anyone who rides a motorcycle so I have no opportunities.

Thanks for your answers =)

Oh yeah, and does bravery play a big role in learning to ride a motorcycle? How can you go about learning how to ride a motorcycle in Canada (specifically Ontario).

Answer 1

an arcade bike is nothing at all in any possible way like riding a real bike. everything is different. in real life you have to hit the gas brakes clutch keep the bike going and go the speed limit. you just go fast on a game. as for bravery it does take some to do tricks like wheelies and stuff like that but just to ride on the street not really

Answer 2

I don't really think you can compare riding a motorcycle to riding one in an arcade game.  The two are worlds apart.

You have to be confident to ride a motorcycle but you don't want to be overconfident as that is when accidents happen.  Being a bit wary can save your life.
