I'm all signed up...

For my motorcycle class!  Robyn and I talked, and we found a set of days that will work.  I'm excited!  I'll finally be trying it out and see if it is something I want to do...well I have no doubt I'll love it...but the question is will it love me?  It is a three day course, with 6 hours devoted to being in a classroom.  The rest of the time is spent practicing/getting things signed off to get the driving test waiver.  I might be ok...or it might be really hard.  The nice thing is the bikes they have you use are fairly new and just got inspected/all the good stuff needed for it to be an enjoyable time.

Now...to find a helmet..

How do I do this?

Ever since I was 13, I have wanted a motorcycle.  The idea of driving down the road, with the wind whipping against my face and I feel the beast of a machine purring beneath me has intrigued me.  I almost bought a motorcycle twice...but both times I chickened out...mostly because I have never been on one and don't know if it will be all that I expect it to be.  Then I came up with this great idea last night:  Take a Class on how to ride/maintain a bike.  That would finally put my dreams to the test and see if they are still valid!

...Then Robyn brought up two very good questions:

1. Do these "intro to Motorcycles" classes exist around us?


2. Do I need a bike first before they will let me in the class?

If anyone has ideas, insight, please let me know.  I don't want to end up buying a bike and then find out I can't stand it....I somehow doubt it...but you never know.
