Hey, congratulations Donna! Way to go girl. Good job.

So with the solo course behind you, what's next? Just ride and practice?

Good morning Nevada, welcome to October! Donna, I take it the test went well?

Morning!

It's Monday...WOOHOO!!!! (NOT)

- Hangover from celebrating lastnight!

I have lots of things to do today & since I passed my basic motorcycle course, after I get the bike titled/registered & get my new license... I think I'll take that for a ride.

Bruce - Thanks for the congrats & I'll probably just ride & get more experience under my belt before I go to V.C., Reno, or Tahoe. I might go to Carson to practice my riding skills in city traffic since it's not as congested as Reno. Although, I'll probably be taking it out to Top Gun for my last day of work this season on OCt. 13th.

Atleast there's less traffic w/ highway speeds & hopefully w/the distance, it'll help improve the skills I've just learned.

Pat - Yes, It was fricken' awesome!

I got a 98% on my written test & passed my riding test. (I was docked 7 points. 5 pts for the front tire going outside the line on the 2 "U-turns" (like a figure 8) inside a 20'x40' box & 2 pts for stopping past the quick stop distance.) You could be docked up to 21 pts. before you fail the class. If you drop the bike or hit someone by riding to fast or carelessly...automatic fail!

Congratulations on passing the basic driving test. So when are you going to take the advanced test?

That's great Donna. One rule to live by when riding: You are invisible! Ride like nobody can see you because many times they can't. At any moment, have an escape route planned,

Thanks Jim!

They said for everyone to wait to take anymore classes until we've been riding atleast 1 year. Then to take the experienced rider course or the advanced rider course.

LOL!...They taught us that in class! Thanks for the reminder though.

And how is Miss Donna this fine day?

I'm doing good. How about you?
I just got done looking at your F-100 project thread. Your last post was in 2005. So, I'm assuming by now the house is done & you've had a chance to work on or finish the F-100?
