MOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENT CLASSES


Tomorrow begins my journey to getting my motorcycle endorsement. I begin in the classroom tomorrow and Friday evening and move to the course on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Typically, the class is two full days but since I did not want to miss TVM Saturday night or Sunday church, I found a four-day class which accommodates my schedule.

When I was little, I went to Island Lake motorcycle camp two years in a row. It was a blast! This was after I had been to Horse Camp several times and needed a bit more speed. In high school, my dad bought my brother and I some old (I mean old) Hondas that we rode around our 10 acres (up on Trombley Hill).

Even with my brief and almost none existent motorcycle history, I am a bit nervous. But my need to be in charge of the handle bars overpowers the nerves.

I'll keep you posted on how it goes! I already prepped Jeff that I will need a helmet, boots and gloves. Listen, if I don't need them, please don't ruin it for me and tell him! I think borrowing a helmet from the school is almost as bad as renting bowling shoes!
