Ma Wife is taking the MC riding course.

Honey is serious, she informed me the other day, that she signed up for
a MSC, deal, and is sheduled for November 12 & 13th. We have had a
little 250 Rebel around here, that we borrowed. I have showed her some
stuff, and she rides it out here on loop FM1397 where there's very
little traffic. First I rode it and she drove. Now she can saddle up,
and we both ride out our graveled drive way, for a ride, around the
farm land. She gets up to 45mph.
I found out something I didnt realize.
And that is, it's not easy to merely stop a motorcycle. Something that
we Vets, take naturally. I am talking just stopping not shuting it down.
That was hard for her, and still is a little. The other thing is,
turning around, merely turning the bike around. hmmmm? what do ya'll
think?
(BJAY)

 

She'll get use to it. Just some practice and coordination.
Even if she decides that being a rider is not for her, she just wants to be
a passenger, the course is still a good idea. Passengers should have some
basic understanding of how to ride a motorcycle. I recommend the course for
everyone.

 

She's in charge at home. I have no problem letting her tell me exactly what
to do with my hands.

 

Are you referring to the MSF's Basic RiderCourse?
I feel that I must disagree. The class I took a few years ago started out as
if nobody knew a thing about motorcycles. We practiced paddle walking the
bike while bumping the clutch for instance.
I can see how knowledge of manual transmissions would be a benefit for those
that have only had automatics, tho.

 

Yeah, that sounds like pure bullcrap.

What's happening in Galveston?
