Motorcycle Mayhem
Good morning, all!
Lesson #2 was last night. We ventured across to the cemetery and made two laps. I have now put eleven miles on my beautiful bike. Of course, five of those miles are probably from the parking lot. I even got the bike up to around 30 mph on the straightaway. 30 mph seems a lot faster sitting on two wheels! Then, we came back across the street and practiced stopping and starting on a hill. I think I will take my written test on Tuesday, then venture into Nichols Hills. Maybe by next Saturday, I can ride home. Keep your fingers crossed!

Motorcycle Diaries
Tomorrow, I take delivery of a new motorcycle. A 2007, Suzuki C50 Boulevard, to be exact. I will be wearing a helmet, because I am vain enough that I, at the very least, want my face to look good in my casket. I know, weird. If you knew me, you would understand. Mind you, I've now operated a motorcyle for less than 8 hours in a class I took last weekend. I suppose I will make several laps around the funeral home parking lot until I feel good enough to drive it 25 miles home. Again, if you knew me, you would understand. Wish me luck!
