hurray! (another one!) W and i are now legally endorsed to ride a motorcycle! this weekend we took a riding course in hopes of getting our motorcycle licenses (finally...W has been riding with a permit for a looong time, and i was supposed to get my license 5 years ago but never did). so we finally decided to just fork over the cash and do it! this class was nice cuz they really focus on getting you as much riding time possible, so we really only spent a couple hours in the classroom going over basics, then spent most of yesterday and all of today on the bikes. i was a bit nervous for my evaluation cuz i just couldn't do the little figure 8 in the box, but the instructor told me not to focus so much on staying inside the box, and just focus on properly making the tight turns. so i did, and it worked! i only got docked 3 points total for going outside the box. woohoo! now i just need to go and get me a bike! i was originally thinking of getting an older model yamaha R6, mainly cuz it's one of the only 600s i can actually sit on with my feet planted. but now i'm thinking it might be wiser to get a smaller bike, maybe kawasaki ninja 250 or if i'm feeling brave, the ninja 500 (just like the one jessica alba had on "dark angel!" haha). that way i can practice my skills before getting a bigger bike. decisions decisions... :)
