Re: So, I have to re-take my road test for a car and bike!
Update:
So it's off we go to learn how to ride a motorcycle (again)... We just signed up for our basic motorcycle course (August 3, 4 and 5); they said the bikes include the Suzuki 250 and Kawasaki 125. Then after completion (assuming I pass!!!!), it's off to write the motorcycle written test (while waiting 3-4 hours at the DMV) and then they give us our motorcycle licence.
I'll write up a blog as it goes. It will be interesting to see the difference of what I have learned and what I haven't and how many bad habits I've picked up in the 18 years of riding.

If you're apologizing, it must be all your fault... Bad boy...

Oh goodness, Texas. Heads up, they have some of the worst drivers in the country.

Update: Great news! With the MSF course passed and the DPS (that's the Texas DMV) motorcycle "written" test (it's actually not written anymore as it's on a computer) passed, my M class licence will be arriving in 4 weeks.

Congrats Mike
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R
