I have my motorcycle permit!

I spent the last week studying motorcycle manual and took the test on Monday and I passed the vision & written test. Next the road test which is scheduled on June 25. In the meantime, I've been taking scooter lessons and this afternoon will be lesson 2. After experiencing my first fall, after getting nervous and not applying the brakes in time....lol..I've decided that I'm not going to give up-

I've also realized that for me, getting a scooter would be better than getting a motorcycle. I'm 5'4 around 120 pounds so I don't need anything that fast. A scooter is automatic, no shifting to do like a motorcycle. You just turn the ignition, turn the throttle and just go-

This is a pic of the scooter that I will be getting next week. It has to be ordered. I'm getting in black and orange. The Explorer will definitely be parked for the summer! Less duckets, less gas. It takes $3 to fill this baby up and I can get close to 80 mpg!

This is awesome Renee! Shucks, with gas prices I need to get one of those babies myself. Hope you're doing OK after your little spill.

I have a boo-boo on my left arm and below my left knee-cap. I was hurting for about 15 minutes and then I was fine-

Gotta shake the dust off and keep going.

scooters are cool and very fuel efficient.

It is good to hear that after the fall you still motivated to continue.

Definitely, Lajocar, nothing is stopping me. Lajocar, that is a very unusual name - what nationality, just curious.

Hey Renee,

That's really great news- good for you girl!
One of my employees just wrote his test the other day and failed- he was sooo sad... I imagine the test is a bit different here in Canada though???

In any case- good stuff for you

Hugs,

Was it the written or the road test? If it was the road test he can take again in 7 days-

I wouldn't think it would be different though. Tell him not to give up on it.
