18 hours of motorcycle lessons over the last two days. About half in a classroom, half on a bike.

I learned quite a lot, and I would very strongly recommend the MSF BRC (Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Rider Course) to anybody, especially from Ironstone Ventures (I went to them because they were highly recommended to me).

Now I just need to find a bike. I'm still not sure if I'd prefer an '03 SV650 (naked (no plastic)), or a cheaper bike that I'd be happier to drop (so I can more comfortably find its limits).

I was at the RMV for 30 minutes, including looking around for a pen, going across the street to get one, coming back to find out my number had already been called, and getting a new number.

Update: Signed up for the beginner's course at Ironstone Ventures in Acton on 8/14 and 8/15.

Darxus: I will say this about Motorcycle racing...
Don't do it...
It's like having a crack addiction...
I've done autoxing and it's "Fun"
Motorcycle racing is probably THE BEST RUSH you can have that's legal...
It's better than sex... and that's not just my opinion...
There are Track Days & there is racing...
Sky diving last 5-15 seconds if your lucky
Motorcycle racing lasts 20min...
Imaging having the best 20min orgasm of your life...
but doing that 6-8 times in a day...

So now I want a used Suzuki SV650 S, maybe about a year old.
(Cyron is an old friend of mine who's been doing this ~4 years.)
