Motorcycle Class



The day has finally arrived! My motorcycle class! Gimme some hip hip hoorays all around!
The first day we were just inside, and today we got on our bikes! It was so fun! Our instructors were Dennis and Tommy, and this was certainly not their first time at the rodeo. They had been doing it since it started, and it showed! They knew that I already had a Ninja, so they let me use the one they had. Lucky me!
We started out with baby steps. Like really baby steps. Learning the parts, going into first gear and walking our bikes across the lot. And of course even at 7:30 in the morning it is already friggin hot! Especially because I had on a full face helmet, jacket, gloves, long pants and boots. I drank so much water all day long and just sweat it all out.
I actually rode pretty well! We did all sorts of little maneuvers and I was packin’em down! I was having so much fun too. But there was this older lady there who was having a more difficult time. It was so annoying being in her group because she was so slow. I just wanted to go fast! But that was the last thing they wanted us to do.
At one point, we were riding straight and then we had to stop in a short distance. Well I was doing pretty good and the instructor asked me how long I had been riding. “I hadn’t.” I said, “all I had was a scooter for a year.”
“Well, you ride very well!” he said. And that just made my day! He just assumed I knew how to ride because I already had a bike. Mwahaha! I am sneaky;)
At about 12:30pm we were done for the day. I felt like I learned a ton! I am so glad I was able to take this class, it was awesome. And tomorrow was hopefully license day! Whoot whoot!

Let the wise hear and increase in learning,and the one who understands obtain guidance.
