But more seriously, yeah, but it's been too long.

Also reminded of the first time I was ever allowed to try... I was only 14 so didn't even have my learner's permit, and my dad let me move the truck a short distance in the yard while he was in the passenger seat. He failed to tell me that you have to apply a bit of throttle when starting. The truck stalled, then he deemed me never being able to learn it. What a teacher.

Reminds me of when my dad wanted me to move his bike into the garage. It wasn't a learning situation, but for some reason he stopped me, grabbed the clutch, and asked me to throw in some revs to I guess warm up the engine, get fluids moving and such while the exhaust was still outside.

Then he just dumped the clutch and told me I don't know how to ride a motorcycle.
There was something clearly deliberate about that. I get the part where I should've questioned him more, but he cost himself a headlight.
