I have just bought myself a new motorcycle as my wife and I are having a baby and she told me to get a bike since we only have one car.
My new gear

My new bike

I have got my learners motorcycle licence, had it for around 10 years and haven't ridden in about that long so I am almost starting off completely new. When I test rode the bike I was okay with the gears, apart from stalling a bit when taking off uphill. Last night when I rode the bike after the shop dropped it off I put all my gear on and I had a lot of difficulty with changing gears/stalling, particularly when going from 1st to 2nd gear. Not sure if anyone has advice for learning when wearing quite thick gear. My boots in particular are Alpinestar Roam and I am having difficulty feeling the gear lever with them on.
