Wow, through the last day. We started in the classroom this morning, learning how to deal with ‘special situations’, ie poor weather, obstacles in the roadway, debris, gravel roads, small animals, etc. Also learned why NOT to ride while impaired. Then the written test.
On the range, more riding in ovals, hard braking, swerving, braking in a turn, some more weaving. Then the practical test.
I am happy to say that I passed the written test at 96% and the practical test with 100% (YaY)!!
Now on to getting my endorsement, just have to fill out the paperwork and take in my completion card. Then, GET A BIKE. Unfortunately, on craigslist the only bikes under about $2000 in my area are either old (late 70’s/early 80’s), or abused/in poor condition. Because of this I’m probably going to go for a new bike, or used from the dealership. If I’m going to have to pay between 2-4000, I want a bike that I know I’m not going to have problems with. But, I’m going to keep looking. Probably won’t be buying a bike till after next pay day, so I have a couple weeks
