I highly recommend the CHP/Motorcycle Safety test that jpinpb and esmith have mentioned. In it they teach you emergency maneuvers, like sudden turns , what to do when the brakes lock, and so on. The instructors actually have you lock up the brakes.

They teach you important stuff like when you lock up the REAR brake, you SHOULD NOT unlock it because it can whip you right off the bike. If you lock up the front brake, you should release it. They will also teach you the very important evasive technique of counter-steering which is counter-intuitive for most people.

Be safe!

That’s great! Just last night I almost got hit by a speeding teenage girl driving an SUV. At least I know she’s suffering at the gas pump (or at her parents are).

[quote=esmith]Maybe I’ll buy a scooter too. They are so economical. My family will be able to take all the money I saved on gasoline and buy me a nice pretty tombstone.[/quote]
I think with less SUV drivers out there, the risk of death to scooter riders is greatly diminished.

Never done the animal truck tour, what a delight that would be.

HarryBosch, my mistake. I have a good friend who with his sons was heavy on the battlebot scene. They built heavyweights and got on TV quite a few times. I think they might even have had the title one year.

Yep, confirmed, this is his site:

Anyhow, back on topic. What’s the topic?
