Bikers Korner...........

Where would you like me to start? As far as the Bike thing, no money, no time, too many kids... which explains the first two.
 
Been too rainy for my taste last couple of weeks; done with the show a week from today and looking forward to a nice weekend ride...
 
yeah watch out for sunday they say it might rain. i may head down to san diego again tomorrow and come back sunday before the rain. there is a memorial run for this guy Frank King who started the xmas toys and bikes giveaway this sunday if any were interested.

Yes. Daytona Beach. About 60 miles from my house. I'll probably be there most days.

But today I will ride to the local Harley dealer and watch my boss attend the license class. He used to ride, then his wife put a stop to it, then he got divorced, now he's getting a bike. I told him I'll drop by just to see if he'll drop the Buell Blast he'll be riding :)
 
Yeah, sometimes it will save you on insurance, and put you in the short line that doesn't have to take the test. At least, that's how it used to be. Of course, I remember not needing the validation to ride, just a regular Driver's License.

license class at a Harley dealership?.........it's just a class before he goes to the DMV right?

No. In Florida you have to take the class to get a license, and the test - both written and practical - is taken as part of the class. You then take the certificate to the DMV and they will give you a license on the spot. I think you may have to pay a small fee for the new license. Somewhere between $10 and $20 bucks. Same fee as if you need to replace your license.

You can no longer take a motorcycle license test at the DMV, nor can you take the written test there. As of July -08.

I don't know if this is "good" or "bad", but it is the law. I think it is good that a class is required before you can legally ride a bike, but that is just my opinion. Which is heavily biased by coming from a different country and hence a different licensing system.
 
Got to see how the hit-air vest worked, tonight. Now I need a replacement gas cylinder. Should have taken them up on the offer to throw in an extra, when I got the vest.

One busted right-turn indicator lens plus some scuffing on the right cylinder protector and head cover.

Drat.
