Q: When you start your introduction, avoid talking negatively about yourself or what you’re doing. Instead, smile and be welcoming to remind yourself that you’re here for a good reason. For example, avoid saying, “I know you’re busy people and would rather not be here.” No matter what your presentation is about, you want your audience to be attentive and learn something. To do this, speak loudly, projecting your voice to the back of the room. Slow yourself down a little by emphasizing the key words and ideas in your presentation, but don’t lose any of your energy. Remember that silence can be an effective tool. Take a moment to breathe and gather your thoughts. Your listeners won’t mind. Movement gives your presentation a little vibrancy. Keep your hands out of your pocket. Gesture with your hands like you normally would around someone you know. You’re not a tree, so you don’t have to pretend to be one. If your space allows it, walking around a little is acceptable. As you speak, sweep your gaze around the room. Focus on one person at a time. This way, you can connect with people on all sides of the audience. Everyone will think you’re talking directly to them. This is a great technique for anyone who feels nervous about speaking in front of an audience! When going through your introduction, you should never read from a script. You can use notecards or a slide to prompt you when you get stuck. Use videos and graphs as needed to display important points, but don’t rely on them to say what you mean. Any visual aids you use should be clear to audience members in the back of the room.
A: Speak positively to keep your tone friendly. Speak slowly and with confidence. Move your hands as you speak. Make eye contact with different people to stay engaged. Limit the use of visual aids.

Q: Consider options not listed here that are unique to your situation.  Maybe a friend or relative is willing to drive your vehicle and possessions across the country for you, just for the experience; you can offer to pay for their gas, lodging and it might still be cheaper than using a vehicle shipping service. It could actually make sense for you to let go of all of your large possessions and travel by train or bus. The possibilities are endless. Consider what's best for you and your situation, and enjoy the ride!
A: Be creative.

Q: The clutch is located in front of the left handgrip. It is responsible for transferring torque from the engine to the transmission. The throttle located on the right hand grip. Rolling on the throttle increases the engine RPM to prevent the engine from stalling. The gear shift is a bar located in front of the left foot pedal. It is responsible for switching between gears. Practice the following:  Squeeze the clutch lever in, then slowly ease it out. Roll the throttle towards the back of the motorcycle ("roll on") to go faster. Roll the throttle towards the front of the motorcycle ("roll off") to go slower. Press down on the gear shift to put the motorcycle into first gear. This only works if you are in neutral or second gear, otherwise, pressing down the gear shift will only take you to a lower gear. Move the gear shift upwards to reach the remaining gears. The predominant gear pattern for manual motorcycles is one down, and four or five up. Neutral is found between first and second gear.
A: Become familiar the clutch, throttle, and gear shifter.

Q: After you tell the lie, you may be asked to tell the story again, or give a fuller explanation. Do not back down and take back the lie you told. Stick to it and repeat it as closely as possible to the way you told it the first time. Asking the same question multiple times is a tactic to get you to give up the lie. When you are asked for more information, don’t add too much to the lie so that it becomes complicated. Do your best to add one small piece of information that will enhance the lie but not make it too hard to maintain. Sometimes you can disorient people and distract them by answering a question with another question. Say something like, "Why don't you believe me?" or "Did you hear a different story from someone else?". This puts the person questioning you in the hot seat to answer. This will make the other person think that your lie was just their imagination. Beware though- as this doesn't usually work that well, and if it doesn't, you can get caught.
A:
Stick to your story. Add a small extra detail. Answer the question with a question. Say you don't remember telling the lie if you happen to almost get caught.
