Mike,

When you get all finished up, can you send me the contact information for your divorce attorney?

Thanks,

Chief

I can only look back and ask myself how many scars I wouldn't have if they'd had these courses 40 years ago. Damn I can't even remember how many times I dumped in the beginning. Used to be a constant pool among my buddies when I'd go down again when I was like 15 or 16. Sooooo many times, I'd trust the idiot cagers and get crushed in return- - run over at an intersection by a cage who changed their mind and went straight even though they had their turn signal on. Head on by guy on the wrong side of the road, run off into the woods by a guy going too fast around a corner,the classic left turn in front of me. The "officer I didn't see the motorcycle " Man it's nothin short of a miracle I'm here to tell the tale At some point I simply decided to be aggresive and never ever think for a minute that the people in cages all around me had anything in mind except my demise. And still I got burnt last year by some curry stinkin sheet heads in Abeline Texas in a freakin Gray Dodge Caravan. ( might have something to do with why I hate minivans ) Bastards watched me go down and never even stopped. Must have figured I was lower caste. Anyway, it's a dangerous thing we do and you have to be so alert every minute cause you have your life in your hands. One thing I heard they teach you at these courses is how to put the bike down. Now there's a lesson I'd as soon have learned in a class instead of out on the asphalt. I even heard they try to teach you how to visualize jumping up in the event of a head on. Is that true ? Man I'd like to see that. Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that given how hard it was to learn without anyone teaching me anything, I would imagine that taking this course isn't easy either. I s'pect I'd of gone around with it a couple times. From what I've heard and read, I might still have to give it more than one go. They say experinenced riders learn a lot from it. So just keep on keepin on is what I have to say whatever it is you're tryin to do, whether it be motorcycles or life.

Here's some advice,

Quit typing about failure and go practice.
Find (rent) borrow a small bike to do the test.
Don't waste a lot of time waiting, just go do it.
I can tell you didn't just fall off the riding turnip truck so PRACTICE and go take the test.
If you don't pass the first time there then get pissed and get determined to pass.
You don't sound like a girl that takes no very well.
Show them!

I want to hear about you passing the test, the rest is just whining!
And you don't strike me as a whiner either.
You can do it!

Hmmm, you sure you want to do that, might cause a little resentment which may be reflected on the cost on the next service of your scooter. [smiley=nixweiss.gif] I know Jim wouldn't alter the quality of his service, but he may just adjust the price accordingly. ;D

Yeah, 'er 'uh, cigarmike,
  That is true.  You'll always learn more from observing a seasoned rider, as opposed to a rookie.  That's not to say one should try to keep up with an experienced rider, you just happen to see on the road.  Ride with experienced riders that you know.  They will be glad to share and teach you the ways of the Road.  This should also include Leagally Seperated, and Divorced Men.  ;) Later--HUBBARD

Motorcycle Boot Camp
« Reply #85 on: December 12, 2006, 09:36:13 PM »

"One thing I heard they teach you at these courses is how to put the bike down."  My class did not teach that.  I wish they had.  

I asked an instructor to show me how to pick up a bike.  That wasn't coverede either.  Nor was stopping or starting on a hill.  There is SO much to learn.  Someone should start a motorcycle boot camp. (If you smell something burning it's just me thinking)....

Yes!  We can have a reality show.  Motorcycle Boot Camp.

"I even heard they try to teach you how to visualize jumping up in the event of a head on."  Not my class.

Ride with experienced riders....50+ men.  I don't discriminate.  I would enjoy finding a 50+ man to coach me.  Especially a single man who is over the midlife crisis and ready for something more than "friends with benefits."  

I won't let a legally separated man within 20 feet.  Separated men are whiny and undecisive.
