paco when did you take it? I think i was in your group! My name is Ted........
Sup Ted, my name is Joe. I took it the weekend before the last Thursday in April. So that would be like Friday the 23rd, Saturday 24th, and Sunday 25th, then I came back for a makeup on the next Thursday and finished. I think. I took the course in Tampa. And I was on the PM schedule. I was the chunky dude that laid the bike down in the quickstop evaulation.

Rolled through first, second, and third once right before I got home - like WHOA!!! This could get addicting

I was thinking about getting a bike, wondering how hot it gets when your wearing a helmet, joe ballistics jacket and gloves in the summer time. I will never ride with out my gear, but don't know just how hot it will be. Think I can bear it?
