well all my wife now knows why i want to take off for all parts of the country curvey.
she also has a better understanding why i want to spend most of my spare time here on this board talking to all of you sooo with out further adue my wife.
I just got home from taking a Motorcycle Safety Course for my cycle endorsement.
My husband (TRINIBOB) asked that I write about my experience hoping to inform the non-experienced or novice riders.
My husband had bought his motorcycle almost 3 years ago. For more than one reason, I was less that excited. The biggest reason for my apprehension was my lack of knowledge about motorcycles. I was fearful of them and I was afraid for my husband.
Since taking this class, (my husband took the class with me just for fun and support) my viewpoint has changed dramatically! I found riding a motorcycle very enjoyable. I actually wanted to be done with the class just so I could go for a ride (even thought I do not have a bike (yet). I learned that as long as the bike is moving, it would not just fall over (that was a huge fear of mine). I found that as long as you relax, riding a bike if fairly easy. The biggest thing that they try and drill into to you is “look where you want to go” and guess what?? It worked. The most fun part that I enjoyed was the weaving exercises. Once you get the “push/lean” down, those weave exercises were the best!! I definitely have a better understanding how motorcycles work, and I also learned that they are not necessarily as dangerous as I had originally thought. With any kind of vehicle, car, motorcycle etc, you still need to use common sense and caution.
I strongly recommend that anyone that has not ridden a motorcycle before, even if they do not want to ride one of their own, they should take this class!! Even if you only want to do is be a rider, you will learn more things that are more helpful than you think.
