Hi hi!
A bit un-fashion related but Ive been
practicing and studying to get my motorcycle permit.
The state I live in offers permit classes before getting your license.
You don't have to do it this way but most people do!
I practiced a bit before the classes on my friends bike!
Suzuki GS 500
I practiced going in circles, my speed and breaking properly.
I felt i made some progress and my friend said I'm pretty good at slow speed maneuvers!
But when I tried turning out of a sharp right, I hit the front brake
and lost my balance.
I accidentally tipped over the bike...
I broke the front brake lever too.
But its been dropped before and he said he wasn't worried about it.
modules like crazy in preparation...
Mostly basics!
Everyone in my class was so shy but I love talking
about motorcycles so I pryed some good convo's out!
[ Day 2 ]
We started early on the range. 7:30 am!
I was so excited, I slept really bad the night before and woke up every couple hours.
I still felt energized to ride tho!!
The bike I ended uo choosing was the Kawasaki Eliminator 125!
I enjoyed this so much more than the Honda Rebel in my first practice class..
We did parking lot riding drills for half the day
then took a break for lunch.
There was a car show giving out free food but
I wasn't in the mood for anything heavy so I
got some spring rolls.
Here are some photos from the car show!
After lunch we went back to class for some more learning then prepared for our written exam.
I studied a LOT for weeks so I felt very confident.
I got 100% !!!!
Once I got home I took a [needed] long hot bath and
used my Donki Quijote Bath bomb!
7:30 am start on the course again.
It was a lot colder and I dressed in many layers!
I think I wore my face scarf half the day!
for the riding exam!
I was only 1 of 3 Female riders.
One was married and wanted to get her license to ride with her family!
She seemd to have something going on with her bike since I saw her at the side lines for a bit during a drill.
bike during the Uturn practice.
He boyfriend, who was also in the class, came to her
rescue to check on her.
As her and her bf were leaving, she looked at me in the eyes.
Straight into my soul and said..
"Your'e the last one"
I hadn't noticed the other lady also left!
I HAD TO PASS NOW !!!
Weaving the bike back and forth is so fun.
I now get why people enjoy winding roads so much.
Around 11:30 we wrapped up drills and took a break
to get ready for the test.
Our instructors suddenly had to get really serious.
They were so funny and nice the whole time, seeing them become quiet and strict was interesting!
was getting better on, and some I wasn't.
So I was very unsure on how I would do when its
the only time that counts.
I was at the back of the line of everyone doing the test courses.
I would get so nervous while I waited for everyone to finish.
A couple times I got frustrated because I messed up things I knew I was doing good at earlier..
better than when I practiced.
In the end
...
AAAAAAAAAA!!!
Thank you to my instructors, class mates and my
bike for making this such a fun time!
It was extremely exhausting and challenging and took
my entire weekend but it was so worth it!!
Getting my Endorsement [full license] and a Motorcycle!
a restaurant we hadn't tried yet.
Turns out it was a biker bar!
wwww
Turns out there was a Vespa meet-up that day!
It was so yummy but so much food!
