Used my "Wings" yesterday
« on: August 04, 2014, 10:14:21 AM »

Finished the mandatory 4 day riding school at San Jacinto Harley Davidson Riding Academy yesterday!  :orange:

and only fell over once and it was at a dead stop when my big ole foot got hung up in the crash bar!
after one of the 20 mile a hour emergency stop practices! :oops:
just left my pride on the range! but regained it later! :-\

instructor pretty  much said I was a "natural", at everything except that "Figure 8"?
guess I'll be fine if I just go counter clock wise on my turns!

That is no easy course! far cry from what I had to do about 40 years ago when I got my first license!

started with 12 "contestants"!
and ended with 8!
Man I still feel sorry for that Nurse yesterday that launched that Street glide 500 and herself into the neighbors back yard! :'(

he told her,
Stop popping the clutch!

Congrats...  :2vrolijk_21:  :2vrolijk_21:  :2vrolijk_21:

So was this course for your first motorcycle endorsement, or an advanced course?

Enjoy your riding.

my first!

I'll wait a while until I get to know my bike a little better and
yes I would like to take the advanced, there!

they did have a pretty good range, one if not the biggest in the city

Congrats on completing the course! :huepfenjump3: :2vrolijk_21: May I suggest you take it slow on your own scooter. Ride around and get a good feel for your bike before you let go on the streets or take any rides with experience riders. Never let anyone push you out of your own comfort level! Be safe and may God bless you with many miles in the wind! :2vrolijk_21:
