Here's my interesting (or not) story on my riding career up until now...
Took the M1 written test on July 9... failed the G1 portion of the test... didn't even realized they test G1 knowledge until it's too late
... retook the G1 portion on July 11 and passed!
Bought a helmet online Sunday before the weekend I was scheduled for my safety course... was nervous as hell that it wouldn't come on time... well it did, came on Friday afternoon!
Took the safety course that weekend, August 19-21... felled on my very first time on the bike (the engine wasn't even running) and broke the clutch handle... and the fact that I didn't even know how to drive a manual car, I was having difficulty with the clutch and throttle... big time. In come the M1 Exit road test... nervous as hell... first test was timed... and I stalled!!! (Slow sharp turn to the right... I was so slow that the bike stalled) Needless to say I failed before I even started the test. Came back the next weekend for the retest... passed!!! Boy I hate driving tests... Officially got my M2 on September 17.
Bought my 2011 CBR125 used on September 27, was going to get Ninja 250 but decided I want a CBR250, but very few used CBR250 out there and the ones out there cost almost the same as new... so decided on a 2011 CBR125 for now and wait for 2012 CBR250 next spring.
Now I can't stop riding! Rode the whole Thanksgiving weekend, bumped into a few sport bike group... they are morons and riding very aggressive... tried to stay away as far as possible... one almost hit me from behind as I was changing lane and he/she was right up against me... good thing I signaled and checked my mirrors.
I came a loooong way in just a couple of months, wasn't even considering a motorcycle back in June... now I can't wait to do more riding before season ends.
