Awesome. Riding is tons of fun like you said. I ride my moped, that I got 3 days ago, for usually at least an hour a day. Good luck with the test. (:

Don't go too fastor too slow on your figure 8s,its easy to get squirrelly.

Tonight was the first time I was able to nail the 8s.I wish the idle was just a bit slower on this machine.And know,Im getting even more ride crazy!Im actually thinking for my next bike I would like a Triumph Thruxton.
Invader,Ive seen your work,it would look great!Maybe someday.

The 8 in the box is the tough one. Took some practice for me not to put a foot down.

Glad you're having fun.

Last weekend, my 19-year old took his dirt-bike for a spin. He's only ridden it a couple of times this summer - it was in the shop for a bit and he's been too busy with work in general.

I was starting to worry when it got dark - he's 19 but not totally irresponsible - but then he came home. His bike had broken down some 5-6 miles away and he ran home :ssuprised: .

He and hubby got the truck and went to pick up the bike to find:

The neighbours camped out beside it!

She's a coroner. She was incessed that someone was speeding like a maniac and when they found the deserted bike she and her husband decided to wait beside it until the owner showed up - so she could give them a lecture on the dangers of speeding - and possibly ending up on her slab!

My son swears he wasn't speeding because the gravel roads are too uneven(but who knows?) and he's mad she was there and NOT embarrassed. I suppose I'm happy someone out there cares enough to bother (we know them quite well - they were very surprised to see the owner of the bike is our son).

Anyway - to all you bikers - drive safe.
