    Smile Legally Blonde!!!

    What a day I had yesterday!!!
    I have no motorcycle background. Bought my first bike/SE5 yellow spyder on June 12th. I crammed for the test all weekend. Took the written test on the 17th, and passed, and got my permit.

    My husband and I would go down to the High School parking lot every weekend. We set-up the cones and rode the practise courses in the spyder manual. Our rides together took us to a farther distance each time.

    July 21st, I was bummed out, it rained all day and the pavement never dried out for me to take my road test.

    July 28th, finally no rain for that morning. I went to take my road test. I was the only one there taking the test. My husband came to watch. I passed with flying colors! What a relief that was for me. I then went to the DMV and got my License (got a M endorsement). While there I found out my new custom plates came in. Couldn't of come in on a better day. My plates will now say "BMBULB".


    Maybe one day the MSF will establish a safety course for the spyder, and possibly work with state police agencies to standardize a Licensing course.

    welcome Congratulations! Don't worry about the rain, it's the thunderstorms and lightening you need to watch out for.

    Nice going!!

    As to MSF doing a course - info I have is 'it's in the works'. Meanwhile, there is an excellent outline in the Spyder manual. I used it to set up courses for W as she was getting acquainted with 'Blaze'. You can use the lime-yellow tennis balls, cut 'em in half, for 'cones' to practice with.

    Now for more fun - get together with other ryders and compare mods. I think we 'sold' a CHAD and a Russel seat a few weeks ago.

    Happying!

    The serious part: I like your plate.

    The teasing part: Too bad you couldn't get any exclamation points on it!!! (perhaps a future mod to the plate frame?)

    The heartfelt part: Enjoy the new world that has opened up for you!
