I learned how to r2 my front wheel today. Brand new Battlewing just waiting to be ridden tomorrow, didn't get to today because I finished late and decided to let the threadlocker set overnight. (Really want my brake calipers to stay where I put them.)

HOORAY!!! :thumbsup:

"instructor license" means you can teach motorcycle courses anywhere in Canada? Or is it just for the school where you took the course?

Right now my license would be good for British Columbia. If I wanted to teach somewhere else in Canada, I could probably take the challenge from another province (and if successful) have my license legal for there.

At least that is how it works here....If someone came from Alberta they could take the ICBC challenge..pass it and you can work in BC.

I already have a part time job lined up. :D

very nice, Blues. grats!

i did next to no riding today. :( maybe 20 miles around town is all. went and saw "Up" though, which wasn't too bad for a kids movie. i'd hoped for a little more of the subtle grown-up humor like i've seen in some other kids movies, but 'twas not to be.

Thank you. Now the real test begins...getting novices ready to ride and survive the mean streets.

The only riding I'll be doing today is to get myself home. Half the journey will be spent sitting on a ferry. I'm looking forward to it. :)

I spent about 15 minutes chuckling at the aerostitch "Special Products" portion of their online catalogue...

Someone sure has a sense of humour...

Yeah, I enjoy reading through those every now and then.

My fav is still the analog GPS, only 3 grand too.

I saw one that's not on the page yet, a pillion seat convection oven, for those quick side of the road meals.... :laughing:
