my friends took the class with you. that day we came up to your work and watched you on the 50cc bikes they reconized you.

I learned what I do know in my friend's neighborhood on his '05 CBR600RR. It was exciting but I was kinda paranoid that I might drop his brand new bike (a couple months old) since I have short legs. I do plan on taking the MSF course when I start riding, though.

Ahh, yeah I had a great time at that class At the end of the course, someone on our range pulled on the front brake a little too hard and at the "quick stop" he stoppied the bike....but not just that...he FLIPPED The bike over and flew off. I'm pretty sure he failed


EDIT: It was sad....but funny at the same time.

Haha...ahh Okay- I have no idea what she looks like so I wouldn't have known if I saw her at Gator's...I've actually only been there a couple of times so I can probably remember the exact day it was.
