Moto-Kato


I don't know what the deal is, but no one can seem to get Kate to learn to drive a stick-shift. I've taken her in my car before - it's been a few years, though. I don't know if no one will just take the time, if Kate's just too busy, or if she just refuses to drive one because it's a pain to learn. All I know is that I was flabbergasted when she got on Vati's old beat-up motorcycle a week ago, asked Shawn how to ride it, and... took off! She won't learn a stick-shift, but she'll hop on the motorcycle and learn right then and there how to ride it? It was hysterical, though - to watch her ride down the street with this "aaaahhhhh... aaaahhhhh....aaaahhhh" coming from her mouth, fading in an out as she rode past us.
C'mon, Kate... let me teach you how to drive a stick-shift...

The more reason to be aghast: The motorcycle is a manual transmission vehicle-- you use a clutch and shift gears. Same concept as driving a stick! I learned to ride that motorcycle before I learned to drive a stick and it made learning a stick soooo easy. Not that Kate's a pro at the motorcycle after one ride, but still... she can do it.

Kate that bike looks phiny.
