Finally got my license test!
« on: August 26, 2014, 05:41:57 PM »
Well, after 5 1/2 months, and over 2600 miles, I finally got around to getting my bike license. So I'm officially legal now!!!
One less thing to worry about.
Passed the written test with a perfect score.
Had a couple hiccups on the riding test though. Me and the slalom cones don't get along.
Two bad knees, and a wonky hip make the back and forth weight shift a bit shaky.
But, I did the over all test well enough that they passed me.

At least now I don't have to worry about getting ticketed for not having a proper license endorsement!
Yayy ME!

Good going. I failed the written because it is biased to motorcycles and one of the questions was about down shifting. But I got it the second try two minutes later. The riding part I got 100%

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I had an endorsement years ago, but when I went to get my new one I opted to take the MSF course (they test you at the end and you get your endorsement if you pass) last year.  It was some of the best money I ever spent, even as a rider with previous experience, you still learn in the course.

I can relate when it comes to the knees and hip.  I have a bad hip from driving truck a lot of years, so that is why I have the scooter.  I can't throw my leg over a motorcycle like I used to be able to.
Build a man a fire and you keep him warm for a day.  Set a man on fire and you keep him warm for the rest of his life.

That is wonderful Duke. It takes awhile to do anything. It took me awhile to get my M class as well.
