We've a couple of Honda Metros and a couple of regular motorcycles, and the scooters usually get picked for the rides. I typically end up riding my motorcycle simply to keep it up and running, but to each their own. <br /><br />I never took a motorcycle safety class, having grown up in a riding family it was simply what we did as kids on up. Some spectacular crashes resulted in my teen years, due to stupidity mostly. Got my motorcycle license many years ago. My wife took the MSF class recently to get her M1 license, and I've learned some stuff from her when she'd come home and share what they were doing. You are pretty smart to take the class, in my opinion, and I've even considered it as well for myself after seeing how helpful it is.Heathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103839162518790274.post-91313664720072946282011-09-15T03:39:30.305-07:002011-09-15T03:39:30.305-07:00Seems to me that these 'skills' are all th...Seems to me that these 'skills' are all things you should have known about and practiced on the scooter. Because of the licensing loop-hole you were able to circumvent the educational process. Maybe retrospectively a class, even if not required, might have been a good thing? Just asking...Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103839162518790274.post-36838689424968424362011-09-14T22:36:07.240-07:002011-09-14T22:36:07.240-07:00Dave:

It will feel more comfortable as you gain more confidence.
