homme à la moto

Friday evening I started my defensive motorcycle riding course in North Vancouver. Friday was 4 hours of class; Saturday and Sunday each had about 90 minutes of class followed by 6 hours of parking lot-based skills building. And it all came down to an official ICBC skiills test.

Which I passed. 100%. Which I guess makes me a valedicktorian for the course. Go me! After I get my certificate tomorrow I'll be free to pinch querrelle's bike for daylight practice.

Tomorrow and Tuesday evening are group rides. Wednesday I do a practice road test. My test is booked for 05 October. I'm not entirely convinced I want to swap off scooters...but having both options would be cool.

And if you've not seen this yet. you should. Gangked from the hawtness that is rob_nickel:

Do you have Matt and Frank teaching this class? Matt's a goof, isn't he? And getting your bike license, doesn't mean you have to swap off a scoot. it just means you can get a bigger scoot.

Oh that's just so wrong it's right...

Yup Frank and Matt and Chris. I think each has his strengths. Nice guys and I've learnt a lot.

True and that was the original plan. But my current job ends 31 October so won't be buying any vehicles. Is your current scoot the only one you've owned/driven?

Isn't the shrieking fab?

But once you've got the license, you can go test rideing all you want until you can get what you want.

And yeah, this is my first and my only. I'll eventually move up to a big boy bike, but not for a few years, loving this one way too much.
