), and my first couple of days were hell. Now that I've got the hang of it, I don't see why I was struggling so much. When you start, just let off the clutch (don't give it gas yet) until you start rolling. Once you feel rolling, start slowly giving gas (all while still easing off the clutch). You have to be smooth and slow, and you'll be taking off no problem.

I'm not comfortable with the let it roll kinda thing. I needa learn the release so I can hit the gas right at the release and go.. That's just how I am wit it.. O well. Not like I never drove m/t before lol.
