Got my Motorcycle license... Finally

After riding for over a year without a permit or a license I finally took my road test today after having my permit for 2 weeks... The testing agent was surprised to see me pull up on a 89 cubic inch Fatboy and actually pass

One thing I don't realize is why the test is set up the way it is... There is nothing about that test that has any real world application.... Just don't get it

Tom

Real bikes are not bought, so this should lead you to where I will acquire my next pair of wheels Look for a 113cubic incher running a 6speed trans on a 10" wide tire sometime in the next couple of years.

Re: Got my Motorcycle license... Finally

Congrats to you and congrats for not being illegal riding.


I thought those tests make some sense to me and it's somehow useful for emergency applications.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

Congrats Tom

I can't see you getting knee sliders anytime soon for the big scooter type bike you are describing.

Get yourself a real bike instead of one of those 2-wheeled human blimp transporters. Scare yourself at high speed for a change!!

Re: Got my Motorcycle license... Finally

Congrats, Tom! After many years of being bikeless, I finally put another bike into my garage and have been racking up the miles again. Having taken my motorcycle license test about 25 years ago, it's hard to remember all that I had to do in the driving test for it except for the figure eight. Hopefully in a few years I will be able to afford a "real" bike but for now I'm getting 64mpg average (72mpg was highest) on my baby Buell.

There is nothing like riding a motorcycle! Glad to see you are now legal.

Congrats Tom. I hope to have mine very soon.

Then I have to sell a SVX to pay for the motorcycle...
