I passed!
Watch out world, I'm gonna be on two wheels!
I passed my MOST training this past weekend, gaining my motorcycle license. Now I can get out on the road on my bike and try to overcome my crazy fear of traffic. I'm only going to ride in the early hours of the a.m. No, seriously, just need to practice, get some miles under me in the real world. Just goes to show that you can teach old dogs new tricks!

Re: I passed!
Your crazy fear of traffic isn't really all that crazy on a motorcycle. You should fear every single cage out there every moment while riding. Once you loose that fear of traffic then it is time to give up riding!
Congrats!

Re: I passed!
Yes, I know that fear is good, but I have quite an irrational fear which I think will subside once I actually get some miles on the quieter roads.

Re: I passed!
Congrats, and welcome to the world of 2-wheels!!
I think you're gonna love it.... My rule of thumb, ride like no one can see you, and you'll do fine, just don't expect them to see you... I've been riding for most of my life, and on the street for about 22 years, an AMA member for 19 years

Re: I passed!
Congratulations, Michelle!
The hard part is over, the more you ride the more you will enjoy it. Soon you will be looking for a larger bike.

Re: I passed!
I have had a Triumph Trident, Suzuk's, Harley, etc. I have been riding since 68. I guess I might have to go get my 2 wheel permit too!
I have had the 'learners' permit a couple times, but just never got around to actually 'testing'. Since I have been riding off and on for 40 years, I guess it's time to get 'legal'! Congrats!!

Re: I passed!
I rode on a permit for 15 years or so, until PA was tired of the idiots who buy 800lb 2 wheeled Buicks and never get a license or training then become "veggies" of the state. They mandated that every year you'd need to take your written test to get a permit renewal. As one who hates waiting at PennDot it actually got me off my butt to take the test.
