It looks just like that except its glossy black. I wear an XXL. If yours is an XXL Id be willin to trade if that was an option for ya. Ill get you a real picture tomorrow.

Also, tonight was the first night of my motorcycle course. It was classroom but it was awesome! Tomorrow and thurs are range time. Repeat next week.





Earlier today.. my mother saw me on the bike.. Im awaiting my impending doom. :nervous:

The MSF course I took was very worthwhile and fun. The instructors constantly repeat and reinforce the basics. Also, it was very reassuring to have an instructor there to immediately correct any improper technique before it became an ingrained habit.

I have two memorable moments from class:

On my first try at a straight line emergency stop, I locked the rear wheel. Before the exercise, the instructors must have repeated a bazillion times "If your rear wheel locks, keep it locked! Don't highside on us." So instead of panicking like a complete idiot, I just did what they said. I repeated the exercise a few more times and got it right.


Slow speed slalom through offset cones into a tight 90 degree turn. At the end of the course, this was one of the skills tested. At the time, I completely hated it but I now understand and appreciate why they had us do it.

:noes:

i had a friend that took the MSF class after a year of riding and said it was still way worth it... he realized some of his bad habits and learned a lot of new stuff too....

i want to take it to learn and hopefully meet somebody to ride with. none of my local friends ride

Just got back from my 2nd night! We did our first 4 exercises, which were very basic but still beneficial, as it taught me how to properly ride. Also saw a cutie .. cant wait till thursday!

James, if you can find out if your head is an XXL or not (just try on some helmets at a shop) that would be cool. If its the same size its all yours, Ill give you a deal on it.

My friends don't ride either. Don't let that stop you. That just means that you'll be the first to do it. If you're outgoing enough, you'll make friends quick in the class.

Friction Zone, Straight line in 1st gear. Riding around in an oval. I miss going to that class

We had a couple cuties in class. One was engaged, and off limits. One was a total babe, tall, blonde, educated, worked as a project director for a charitable foundation, and all around cool :boink:

Gotta full-face KBC,,HJC,,Fulmer ($120.00-145.00) and a beanie (skull lid) ($30.00) Simpsons are the nicest, very light weight($350.00+). If you get a full-face go ahead and buy a tinted viser.

James, I have a box and tons of peanuts for the helmet. Let me know if you want it.. I think I might go look at full faces tomorrow.
