Man, rain that's probably the day you have to run the course too. It's going to tricky to pull that fast full stop with wet pavement. Good luck.

Yes, its the last day of the course which is the riding part. Luckily, we did the panic stops already. This is going to be the 8's, circles, u-turns, swerve/stop class. Shouldnt be too bad other than getting wet.

Passed my test ... had a few points taken off for putting my foot down on the dual u turns (fig 8). GZ fit good in the box but they are so beat up the throttle would jerk the bike so bad that it would throw your balance off while making the u turn.

But i passed, now i am fully licensed.

Only had one person fail. Lady who was pretty much afraid of that bike from day one. NO riding experience whatsoever. To everyones amazement she passed the first two tests (she was doing horrible at them earlier in the day). Then she did the panic stop and dropped the bike. Forgot to put her feet down.

Congratulations!

The mental image of the panic stop reminds me of the old "Laugh In" show with the old man falling over on the tricycle.

Cheers!

Congratulations Dupo. Now you are better qualified than many riders out there. Happy Hobo and I have put away the first two days of school with four more to go. Next two days are parking lot and then two days on the street. Got a good instructor who appreciates why we are there. Lots of material in class room sessions but interesting even to an older rider. That is why I am there, don't know it all so there is room for improvement.
