More "How I Did It" stories
How I did it: I took the state motorcycle safety course. In MN, they have bikes for you to ride and if you pass the test, you get your license (you don't have to take it on your own bike at the DMV). This made things a lot easier because the course bikes are small and easy to handle. Read how I did it…
How I did it: i took a rider's safety course. it was two days long, they offer them in many different locations, mine was in athens, TN. i learned a lot of basic skills that every rider should have. i've ridden before, but after i took this class i'm much more confident in my abilities. the class also automatically gives you a certificate to take to the DMV and all you do is pay the fee, then you have your motorcycle endorsement… Read how I did it…

jkrug is drinking my glass of water! Yeah!!
Well, I have gotten my permit, a new helmet, gloves, boots and dusted off the jacket! For the past month I have been spinning around a local parking lot every Saturday! I still have to perfect tight circles, and figure 8’s , but I cant wait to hit the road! And it is looking like Im on my way!
Ever since my friend got a Ninja, I am totally hooked. Riding a motorcycle on freeways totally shakes my stress away. I drive a stick so it should not be any problem learning how to ride a bike.
for those who put off learning how to learn and get their motorcycle license, let me tell you that it is really easy, most anyone can do it.

Now there’s nothing in the way of me getting the perfect bike! I simply can’t wait!
I actually completed this before I started this list, but I was proud of it, so I wanted to include it. I’m still very much a novice, but somehthing I always wanted to do. I have a little used Honda 400 that I can drive around.
After obtaining my permit, I signed up for a “Basic Rider Course.” Unfortunately, it was on the hottest day of the summer and I got heat exhaustion and had to stop in the middle to go throw up. But I got back on the bike (the no refunds/exchanges/rescheduling no matter what policy can be a big motivation, even when you think you’re about to die from the sun!), came back in the following day and passed the practical. Yay!
A couple weeks later the school sent me a waiver that I took down to the DMV and turned it in for an amended license. Now it reads “DM” (Driver and Motorcycle woohoo!) and I am ready to ride!
