I am done with Motorcycle safety class!

Sharkie · 01-27-2007, 06:19 PM

I actually managed to stop covering the brake for the most part and got better at swerving -->> which is something I have not had to do until this class, but definitly something I need to know in emergencies - I suck at the u-turn thing... There was a guy in the class who had been riding for 20 years and he says he learned a lot in the class (I also told him to join the board - His name is James). Anyone who has never taken the class should. I think in a year or so I will take the experienced rider course. By then I should have the gsxr6 (with any luck and a promotion).

Thanks Jake ~ It was cool to have you there! Just promise not to post my score card ;) Unless it's considered to be a really good score that is *heh heh*. I didn't miss any questions on the written part

(you see, that makes up for everything else)

Catchalater!

I am now off to celebrate with my dear friend Andrea!

Thank you, thank you

I have to say that riding a different bike than my own was the hardest part of the class. luckily, yesterday I ended up with a bike that didn't have such grabby brakes as the bike I used last weekend.

Hey, great job Sharkie. As far as posting your scorecard, I wouldn't worry about that. Anyway, it was good having you in the class. And as soon as you get your new bike, get into the ERC. It will help you get more comfortable in a controlled environment!!!

EXCELLENT idea! I thought that the ERC wasn't available yet, so when is it scheduled to be open for enrollment? or was I just misinformed?

Way to go! I know you learned a lot at the class by the way you are taking corners. No more inside / outside / inside for you!

So when are you going to do a nice curvy road with me?
