Well I just failed my MFC lol
Sup guys,
Well I just failed my riding portion of MFC, Got a 100% on the written portion, on the 2 days on range I never once dropped the bike, skid, did the figure 8 just fine, and all. Then test day came, and I absolutely ????ed up AFTER the figure 8. Doing about 18 MPH I was spose to simulate a quick lane change I made the mistake of braking as I was changing lanes and not after so I dropped the bike on its left side. Everyone thought I was going to be hurt because the side of the bike got shredded it was quite the quick fall. Only thing really hurt was my pride, and my leather boots a bit. One thing is for sure, I learned the value of solid leather gear. These leather pants and boots only got scratched up a bit nothing at all happen to my hands gloves didn't even get scratched up much, leather jacket got a little bit of a rash on one arm but its minor. Coach said I went down doing about 12-14mph. Slid on the black top about 3 feet. Usually I succeed on my first attempt at everything I do. I got my BA in college without a problem working on my masters, I have a 3.5 GPA and am an honors student. So I assume this is just something that is not going to come natural to me. Again only real thing that was hurt is my pride. I was one of the best students the entire time, never made any major mistake, was often used as the first to go because the coaches trusted I would do the run properly and I always did. What makes it even worse is I was the only one who failed, and the last one everyone expected to. I assume god is warning me like my mother has many months now that motorcycling is dangerous and I shouldn't do it. I still love it and quite honestly a little part of me enjoyed taking that first fall. I actually liked it. Just not @ that moment and time. So I guess ill go back to my Camaro finish up the semester and continue to look at the bikes from the window of my car. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
