Home from Day 1 of 2 and I am exhausted!
The first few hours of classroom stuff was pretty boring. Nothing that hasn't been covered in the DMV study manual or on here (thanks guys for all the info!).
The riding part was really fun, though. And some of it was tough! I still suck at tight, low speed turns, so some of the cone-swerving exercises were fairly comical. Coming from the scoot, I kept forgetting that I had a brake at my feet, so that took some getting used to, but all those years driving an older car with a manual transmission made it pretty simple to add in the shifting part of it. Though, I still love the ease of the twist and go Vespa!
It was funny to hear all the other brand new riders talking about the big-ass bikes they were planning on getting. Does one really need 1200cc's? Especially as a newbie? Seems a bit...uh...disastrous, to me! And I thought I was a road hazard! Haha
Anyway, I'm in serious need of a nap after today!
