That is good stuff, score like that. I used to get my permit, drive with same, but never had a chance to get the test done. The thing I thought ironic is that I had a class 1 (now CDL A) but you have to take a separate road test for a motorcycle, yet you are qualified to operate an 18 wheel vehicle, well maybe I'm just ignorant LOL !

I can though, appreciate, respect and highly recommend any kind of safety instruction because of the way people drive and their lack of respect for anyone else, be it a bike or a big truck. Idiots using smart phones, and just plain dumb-headed people who drive like they are the only one on the road. There is so much bad driving habits and or lack of respect today, getting on a bike now is a serious risk, you had best keep your eyes focused at all times. Bikes seem to brake well, or I always thought, so speed is important, once you get beyond a certain speed, in a variety of conditions, be it a country road or city street, its a threshold of no return if something happens, deer, person, dog, another car etc. etc. etc.

I used to enjoy a quiet ride on a bike, used to commute on a bike, and even vacationed on a bike, places 50-100 miles away. Don't think I care for it any more, both bikes are in my garage since '93 or '94, couple ole reliable Maxim's, they served their purpose, but when I try to think of all the people I knew that are not here anymore,that were killed on a bike, it gives me a headache. My uncle in South Carolina was killed on a Harley when a dump truck pulled out in front of him in '05, from a job site, he never had a chance, as always I get the call, and had to break the news about 1 mashed up relative.

Safety is king, maybe in another area it would be fun again, but around here, you take your life in you hands just getting to a country road.
