I was led to believe that the new waivers would be put into effect all at the same time. It's not an APEX specific card, it's a new card from the Va DMV.
If you're taking a class at APEX next weekend it's very possible that I'll be one of your instructors. IF that's the case you'll have to make sure to not tell these jokers how bad I am
. Anyway- Apex can get you into a class in two weeks time guaranteed and they use a brand new training cycle fleet so it's entirely worth it.
I'm hoping to take it on the weekend of July 6-8 and I don't care if it's in the morning or afternoon. I still haven't found out if I have to go out of town during that time otherwise I'd enroll now (there's still some seats available for the afternoon classes). Do you train most weekends or are you just instructing for next weekend. These classes seem to fill up quick and I have to realistically think that I may have to wait until July 13 to take the course.
And I won't say anything about your teaching abilities if you don't say anything about my driving abilities.

I'm at a range for at least 5 shifts a month but considering that there are 36 shifts total every month, it's more of a crap shoot than anything else.
Well I guess I DO have a schedule, but I've been doing pretty well guessing when I'm on.

Welcome damooster, Hope you enjoy your class. Do you have a bike yet and if so what are you riding?

No I do not have a bike yet but I'm happy to announce that I passed the course and have my license waiver. All I have to do is take it to DMV and have them add the endorsement to my license.
I like sports bikes and the two I have sat on (and liked) were the Ninja 500 and the Suzuki GS500F. The GS500F is on sale right now but I like the Ninja being liquid cooled, so I have some thinking to do.

Just bought a Ninja EX250. It was at a good price and I had heard that it was a good bike to learn with. Had a lot of fun driving it home, even though you can't go over 4k RPM for the first 500 miles. That equals about 35-40 MPH.
I got passed by a freaking scooter...how embarrassing is that?
