I signed up for the Basic Rider Course! The first one that I could make all the dates to isn’t until mid August which is a bummer but it gives me some time. So in between now and then I will take another lesson or two (or three depending on how quickly I progress and how much money I have) and get all ready to rock the course. Oh yeah! The only downside is that I won’t have my license until the end of the summer so I will only have a month or two to ride until it starts getting too cold or snowy or whatever. But hey, whatever, it doesn’t matter! Wheeeeee!

I officially rode a motorcycle!
I was so nervous when I got there but my instructor Steve was awesome, he put me at ease really quickly. Then I just had fun. I am definitely hooked, there’s no going back now! Two hours worth of lessons, I learned all the controls and I was officially riding by the end. I didn’t get to shifting out of first gear but I did ride a few times with my feet up on the pegs. I think I’m officially hooked.

Lucrezea Sick now... not helping the exercising thing.
For someone who is so avidly against driving and the pollution, destruction and pocket-siphoning it causes, I want to learn to ride so bad that it makes me feel anxious, like everyday I don’t ride I’m missing out on something.
I’ve wanted to ride since I was in my early teens. However, I knew I would ride and own my own bike the first time I rode with my dad on his sportster. I have enough super sexy motorcycle owning friends (the bikes, not the friends), that the constant reminder is always there. I’ve never pursued this dream, because I’ve always been too intimidated by vehicles. I doubt that I will ever drive a car or a truck, but I think that I could become comfortable driving a bike; something that my body in its entirety controls.
I want to do this right, so until I have the extra money, I’ve been spending some of my time reading as much as I can. There’s some part-time courses offered through BCIT for motorcycle maintenance, so I want to take those whenever I get my first bike.
If anyone could point me to any useful online resources (especially forums, I would really appreciate it.

Riding motorcycles is badass, especially for girls. Here’s how I plan to do it.
1. Get the motorcycle handbook from the DMV
2. Study it
3. Schedule the permit test
4. Take the two 1/2 day class to get my license
5. Rent a garage to store motorcyle and get insurance
6. Buy a motorcycle
Steps 4 through 6 might not be in that order but that’s all the stuff I need to do. I’m hoping to be done by the end of July. I also might take private lessons before I take the class so I have a little experience before I have to take the skills test. Cause I’d really hate to fail it.
