Choices

#1 Unread post by Tsp »

It had been 24 years since I had last rode a street bike. On this day it had come down to just that same old saying, "It's like riding a bike, you never have to learn again". Or ? was that said another way.

I give myself credit in 1 area, in which, did I spell correctly ? I had bought me a helmet and had it fit to my head by an employee of a power sports shop. The ride was excelent, enjoyed it to the hilt all the while avoiding the facts of the rear tire being bald. I got 100 $ knocked off the deal, woohoo.

With 24 years out of the picture and an absolute in getting my new bike, was lost getting there and got a Sheriff to escort us, I had no Endorsement. I went Craigs List to several counties to find this bike. Was but a 90 mile 1 way trip. Have you ever screwed up and got away with it ?

Eventually I obtained my all needed Endorsement and in process learned what 24 years never done for me, tell me that had I been pulled over was likely to have bike impounded ! Deep breath. Ahhhhh !

:welcome2: Tsp to the Total Motorcycle community!!

Glad to hear your bike wasn't imounded (I read that correct right?). 24 years is a long time away, but as I always say to returning (or leaving) riders, the fire of riding never dies out... it is always there.

Riding brings an intense amount of freedom and joy to those who do it and it's hard to replace it with anything else.
