It was pretty fun, but tiring. My legs still ache - maybe from the drill where they had us stand up on the bike and ride over 2x4's. Maybe it was from the cramped riding position of the little 125 cc Honda I rode there. But I enjoyed it and I'll be able to get a full license as soon as the paperwork arrives in the mail.

Congrats Matt...Well Done!!

Hey I just read your blog, sounds like you had one of the instructors I had. Was the BMW Dean's old '70 model?



Posted by: MadScientistMatt

May have been the same instructors (they both hinted they had several bikes) but the BMW was one of the modern versions with a fairing. The instructors were named Karl and Rick.

Congrats. Got mine about 3 years ago, one of the best things I have ever done.

Now go buy one of these:

I've been riding a Triumph Sprint ST the last 2 months, over 5k miles already. Motorcycles may make you lose interest in cars (it happened to me anyways).

Again, congrats, be safe & smart, and above all, have fun!!
